The first place I fished 60 years ago. It was open all round then with the pit top coming down to the lake. There were only a few wild carp in then. Bream, roach, perch and some big tench. It was run by the colliery fishing club then, it's changed massively. The best bream pegs were on the point opposite were you say you can't fish now. Brilliant must go back.
Ahh, that’s interesting. Makes sense after seeing the wheels on them. Are they still in use for anything? Only reason I ask is as I left there was a lot of vehicles at the bottom of them. Hope they keep them up. Nice bit of history for the entrance to the village.

What a great review. The only thing you missed was the defibrillator that is located at the baliffs hut .
Those towers are the headstock for the winding gear for old clipstone pit
I do not think they are still in use but they are certainly a great land mark
