Abstract:
John Buglass Archaeological Services carried out a historic environment survey of the site of Scar House village on the southern side of Upper Nidderdale in North Yorkshire, commissioned for the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Prior to the construction of reservoirs at Angram and Scar House in the early 20th century, this part of Upper Nidderdale saw only a low level of human activity, spread over a wide area. Scar House village was created to house the thousand-plus workforce engaged in building the Scar House Reservoir between 1921 and 1936, and their families. It included elements brought from the slightly earlier settlement at Angram. When Scar House Reservoir was completed, the buildings of the village were sold off for use elsewhere, leaving only the bases to mark their locations. Assessment of the site showed that although there is a certain level of information readily available about the settlement, particularly in the form of historic photographs, elements of the detail of the layout are unclear. This, coupled with the steady deterioration of the site due to weathering, means that eventually it will not be possible to recover additional detail regarding the form and nature of the buildings.
