Dist:0.4km<br/>Generations of children have enjoyed playing and fishing in this pond on Cronkeyshaw Common. Not long ago, the spectre was raised of a toddler falling on his face in the water and drowning (this never actually happened): in response, the pond was drained, but, fortunately, common sense prevailed and the pond was re-watered.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This picture gives some idea of the amusements for children that are the raison d'etre of Syke Pond. The older girl seems to have found something interesting, while the boy appears to be trying to hit the dog's head with a golf club.

Dist:0.5km<br/>These cottages have an enviable situation, opposite Syke Pond on Cronkeyshaw Common, and with views towards the Pennine summits from the rear. Added to which is the fact that Syke Road is very quiet as most traffic uses the road on the other side of the common. See this location today [[346391]]
