I only discovered the pool below a waterfall that flows through the ruined Cheesden Lumb Mill in the Cheesden Valley above Heywood, Greater Manchester, a few years ago, but it has become one of my favourite places I can reach on bike from my home in South Central Manchester. There were festivals held downstream at Deeply Vale in the 70s.

The Crack is the debut album by English punk rock band The Ruts, released in 1979.
The cover picture by artist John H. Howard shows the members of the group (from left to right: Malcolm Owen, Paul Fox, Dave Ruffy and Segs – who is perusing a copy of Exchange and Mart) seated on a large sofa, around them are some of their contemporaries such as Rat Scabies and Captain Sensible of The Damned (top right corner), Jimmy Pursey of Sham 69 (bottom right), while Peter Cook and Dudley Moore are standing behind Malcolm, John Peel appears to be doing something to a schoolgirl (in uniform) with a bar of chocolate on the left hand side, Jimi Hendrix looks on from the right, the wives and girlfriends of the band members appear in various poses..
The album sleeve contains a dedication to Jimmy O'Neal, one of the organizers of the Deeply Vale Free Festival, where the band had their beginnings." - Wikipedia
