During the time that the reservoir was being built, monthly editions of the Scar House Village Newsletter were produced.  The newsletters provide us with fascinating snippets of real life in the village from weddings to funerals, and monumental events such as the introduction of electricity, to reflections on annual trips to the seaside. 

Below are just a few snippets taken from the newsletters (scanned by kind permission of the Nidderdale Museum). If you would like to read more or see full copies please contact the Museum.
