Or "Cox"; I think the loop is from the "J" of "July"
A bob a day or half-a-guinea the season wasn't cheap back then, was it?

Re: Dagenham Lake
Had a look to see if I could find out anything on Mr Cox but no joy however there was something about C Borrett.Ljm183 wrote:Day Ticket 1914
There was a farmer of that name who lived in Dagenham at Willis Haws Farm Ripplesdale road with his son(Farm Manager) two daughters and a servant. There was also a map circ 1900 which didn't show the present Dagenham lakes so rightly or wrongly I think your ticket may relate to Dagenham Breach which is in the vicinity of the Ripplesdale Levels.
Dagenham Breach is now incorporated into the Ford motor factory.
Can't wait to back to normal and stop spending so much time on the Internet.

Re: Dagenham Lake
Out of curiosity, does anyone have any more details of the Clacton Lake that figures in the list of big carp? That part of Essex has a lot of gravel pit lakes, I used to fish Layer Pit Lake (SW of Colchester) back then, had a lot of big carp in it though I never caught any. Did once get a nearly 4 lb perch though which won me the 1973 Best Specimen Cup from the club which owned it (and still do) CAPS.

I suspect it could be “love”, despite its drawbacks in the rhyming department.

May have been the pit on the 'Shangri La' holiday caravan site. Was day ticket for a time, fished it once around 1972.

Re: Dagenham Lake
That's actually in St Osyth rather than Clacton but the compiler of the list might not have bothered with the distinction. There's a lot of those pits, as well as some old estate lakes, out Toosey way. You've got to beware of lions though.Tony.J.Newman wrote:May have been the pit on the 'Shangri La' holiday caravan site.

Re: Dagenham Lake
The information In Kevin Clifford's book refers to the lake as the one in Clacton and I've always assumed it to be the one rather than the Shangri-La site. The Clacton one is clearly visible on google maps. I will re-read the book to see if there are any others clues to disprove that point though.

Re: Dagenham Lake
Of minor interest, maybe, the lake (Clacton) site is a brickworks in 1930 and by 1948 is shown as a fish pond and disused kiln. I was hoping to see some reference to Austins as mentioned in KC's book (by memory).
