I remember the state of it after the Pop Festival you couldn't see the water for floating rubbish.Fished it many a time
the arley colliery was across the level crossing at the bottom of bolton house road about 8oo yads into the fields..billy boston the rugby player worked on the demolition of winding house and fan housing... me and R kid swam in the arley lodge
There were two lodges actually, one at the front and one at the back.Connected by a large pipe. Happy days!

our tommy used to have me sailing across there (to a little island in the middle) in a dolly tub. he also made me wade in until i came to a little ledge then lost my footing, maybe entrance to a little mine shaft. i soon learned how to swim
Anyone remember exactly where the festival site was?
