Well found Snape! I actually uploaded the image to photobucket to eventually post on this forum. It is BB's Swancoote pool, the photo is taken from the dam wall, virtually the same place as his scraperboard drawing p.315 from his Fisherman's bedside book.

I'm new to this site and just in the process of getting to know what's going on.
But with regard to Swancoote Pool if anybody is still unaware of its location you need to read page 82 of Kev Clifford's book 'A History of Carp Fishing Revisited' and all will be revealed!

Thank you Andy, the answer has been sitting on my bookshelf all this time.
