Boating Lake

I remember the millpool being used as a boating lake and being able to hire rowing boats, canadian style canoes and sailing dinghys. Over the years the council reclaimed more and more of the millpool for use as a carpark and now there is only a fraction of it left and what was a nice big boating lake is now the main carpark for the town.
