Just read your comments on Lonsdale Park.
The 'owner' you refer to has been replaced. A great deal of work has taken place with more ongoing.
Carol is the new owner. Tony De Manc is the manager assisted by Barney.
The shop is open every day and is very well stocked.
The vast majority of pegs have been substantially renovated and, in most cases, will support a two-man bivvy with room to spare for rods, mat and net etc.
The fishing is excellent, as I found out from a recent visit after a 9 year lapse. The previous owner had let the place go, which was a great shame.
If you like specimen Carp, Pike, Tench, Perch and Roach, Lonsdale Park is BACK and is definitely worth a visit.
We plan to go again in spring and summer 2021
