I admit I have a bit of a obsession about this place as its where I first learned about weed, etiquette and what proper carp look like, so can anyone say with knowledge two things....what videos are on YouTube that have been filmed there? I think James Armstrong, Jim Wilson, Lewis porter maybe and probably some korda as I know they were on the complex a few years ago, secondly what lakes are left?
Pine
Ocean
Long island
Park
Prom
I don't know hardly anything about the 23 acre, was that part of the ocean once?
Thanks guys.

Think you are right, also believe there's much bigger than that in there as well.

The 23 acre was a separate pit next to the ocean in the late 80s and was dug through into one lake in the early 90s at a guess, one of the bars myles fishes on in his video is probably whats left of the roadway separating the two pits , the meadow was dug in the early to mid 90s.
I can remember looking at a freshly dug empty gravel pit in 1988 which is now the snaggy pit.
I think most of the other lakes are still there , some may have been back filled, but im not sure how old the imagery is on google maps. birch was completely drained of water when i was in there last but that was around 13 years ago

Alex thats great information and helped my curiosity no end, thanks for that, i know pine is still there as thats where i learnt about proper carp fishing. The snaggy pit you mention i had no idea of so the puzzle is almost complete.
Are you sure?
