nealjt Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I guess you've tried the tackle shop in the town? Is there still the garage that sells tickets for the river, they might know? Have a look on tinterweb for your local land registry office. There is a thread on here somewhere about fishing unknowns lakes which has loads of info about finding out owners... Or just wait until salokcinnodrog sees this he probably knows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have a search for the thread see if there was anything on it.

p1mikey Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 This pond was known as " station " pond, when LAS had the fishing rights to it. I used to fish it a lot as a boy, that was over 25 yrs ago now. It was a lovely little pond with several carp in and they were always ready to take a bait off the top. In fact, that pond was the first place i ever fished as the match secretary of the club was a friend of my father and he took me there for the afternoon. First fish i ever caught was an eel!!! The pond also had a large chub in it and this was always the " winner " of the chub category at the end of seasons catch awards. My parents still live in Lawford and sometimes when i visit i have gone past the pond and seen its state. The club also had fishing rights to a pond in Furze hill woods, called keepers pond and one in bromley called crossmans. As for the club now, i have no idea what happened but as earlier posts suggest, one of the committee members was called Brian Nunn and he was linked to stour windows... Hope that helps a bit?

spr1985 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Share Posted October 21, 2015 I found this thread intriguing.... Did you ever get anywhere with the search? Would it be worth contacting the environment agency? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
