You never heard of lockhill all i can say you dont go out much mate Thanks for the input.  No, I can’t let this go I’m afraid. Because I don’t know the history of a private dwelling - ie a lock house for a canal that’s been filled in for decades - and it’s known by some people as lock hill despite not actually being called lock hill on a map or having any actual locks I “don’t get out much?”  **** off. Mate.  To the OP, the tow path is still there, as is the pond and it looks like the only way to access it, but it might be behind a fence - it’s a bit hard to make out. You can’t get to from Ellisons road either, unless you have a word with the bloke on the gate veolia.

This has changed things up a bit. I believe KJS have some ponds at Westthorpe, do you know of these ? It's a while since I've fished there. It's down the lane beside the West End Pub. Also I'm sure I've seen a sign for some ponds in the grounds of Park Hall near Spinkhill,not a million miles away ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nope, not westend, fished that loads of times. From what I’ve seen on google maps it’s not a big body of water, not the size of westend but looks bigger than the course lake at KJS. But it’s very hard to access - to point I haven’t yet.  Drive down green lane past he pub, past the industrial estate and just before the dip and sharp left going up hill there looks like an electrical sub station. I think you get it from there. You can’t access it from westthorpe fields, I’ve tried, so it must be from green lane and a bit of hike too. It might not have any fish and be 10 inches deep, but it’s certainly interesting.  Been promising a trip to Park Hall but not got there yet, but it looks nice from the pictures I’ve seen, hoping it might be a bit different if nothing else.

biggsy   10 #22 Posted January 26, 2021 I wonder if anyone knows whether day tickets are available for the pond behind the Travellers rest at High Moor? Not sure if it's private 🤔   Cheers, Biggsy 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I looked into it briefly but didn't get much further than that. Seemed busy enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
