Brickyard Pond
Brickyard Pond holds some excellent fish stocks. There are tench over 6lb, bream over 11lb, roach and rudd over 1 3/4lb, carp over 40lb and pike over 29lb (a 34lb pike was caught in 1930's). In addition there are numerous small perch and eels. It is a very old and mature clay pit, surrounded by trees. Consequently there is a thick bed of silt over much of the bottom. The pond is split down the middle by a band of reeds, although fish can migrate between the two areas. Depths fall off quickly from the margins and are generally between 10 and 15ft. There are two sunken roads, about 10ft wide, created during the excavation of the clay, which have little or no silt on them. They are around 7ft below the surface. There are also some clay features and bars in the second pond.
In recent years several work parties have resulted in vast improvements to the fishing stances and paths. On going maintenance aims to ensure that this fishery will continue to develop.
