plantfit 7,638 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Harrisons plantation is the other side of Old Coach Road to Raleigh pond and it runs from there through to Martins pond which I believe fishing has been banned and the place turned into an inner city nature reserve. The problem there is "who looks after the place now there are no fishermen, as well as getting revenue from the fishing the fishermen also policed the place, looking out for vandals, fly tipping etc, fishing is also a good way of telling the quality of the water through the quality of fish caught, I've not been back for a few years but I can imagine the state of this "inner city nature reserve" It would be nice to be proved wrong on that last point Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Once played in a benefit cricket match at Old Coach Road... IIRC, my second delivery bowled at famous Test cricketer Clive Rice disappeared, either in the pond - or beyond it! Cheers Robt P. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 I do walk the dog up there i cant say i have seen anyone fishing Martins pond for years , but i have seen Raleigh pond being fished. The bailiff many years ago was a old fellow called Ted who's ears looked like he may have played rugby or been a boxer in his youth , did Raleigh also own a bit of the Trent near Clifton bridge ?

plantfit 7,638 Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 You are right about them owning the rights at Clifton bridge, I think it was up stream on the Lenton side (north) below the bridge was day ticket water collected by some one from the Prince of Wales farm as we new it, Talking of the Prince of Wales farm, which we weren't The old Prince of Wales used to stay there on his visits to the area, (that's how it got the name) would that be Queen Victoria's son?

radfordred 6,284 Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah he did ride a bike to be honest he was aright miserable b45t4rd !!! There used to be a sign that said something like no night fishing / ground bait / fires etc. Somebody added no line / no hooks / no bait i think that was for Ted .
