Thanks Kev - I was talking about Oughton being drained, and Bearton where BB caught his first double, - but I suspect I wasn't being clear in my ramblings.KevClifford wrote:FairliesBirthday,
Bearton Pond wasn't drained - that was Oughton pond, also at Hitchin. The latter was where Dick and Pete T. put Pete's 28-pounder from Redmire Pool, but it sadly died later. Dick put a few small carp and tench in Oughton and got some of them back when it was drained and filled in.
