Johnp3941 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 L.a.s I have found a lake next to manningtree train station very overgrown shopping trollies in it cones and all sorts and a thick green blanket of weed does anyone know who owns this lake as I am looking to buy it and bring it back to a nice lake again without the rubbish in it Quote
nealjt Posted October 26, 2014 Report 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

Johnp3941 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Posted July 24, 2015 Still after all this time can't find who owns it not even anything on the land register any other ideas of what to do people it's just a mess and a shame don't know if it's worth just going there and start cleaning it up then someone is bound to notice and maybe find out that way any thoughts Quote
Johnp3941 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Report Posted July 24, 2015 Hi all I am looking for help I have found this small lake over grown trolleys and cones in it and covered in duck weed in manningtree Essex it has l.a.s on the gate and looks like you can't even get though the gates with the growth and it's a shame abd would like to do something about it I have tried local Anglian clubs the railway station next door but nothing so any help would be much help as it's got to a point where I think I might just start removing the trolleys and rubbish so any help much needed Quote
noclu3 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 I believe the club folded earlier this year Quote
noclu3 Posted July 24, 2015 Report Posted July 24, 2015 I wonder if http://www.branthamac.co.uk/ will try to take over the waters? Quote
buzzbomb Posted July 25, 2015 Report Posted July 25, 2015 Still after all this time can't find who owns it not even anything on the land register any other ideas of what to do people it's just a mess and a shame don't know if it's worth just going there and start cleaning it up then someone is bound to notice and maybe find out that way any thoughtsThe sensible part thinks befriend the owner and explore it with him. My other hemisphere just has some bad advice. Quote

p1mikey Posted July 27, 2015 Report 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 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
