3^8 THE ANGLER S GUIDE. 



Cheshuntj fValtham Abbey, and Chinkford, 



From the King's Weir, Wormly, to Waltham Abbey, 

 you may take Jack, Pike, Trout, Chub, Roach, &c. — 

 Note. The river, from the King's Weir to the Go- 

 vernment water, Waltham Abbey, is now a subscription 

 water ; and from Waltham Abbey to Flander's Weir 

 there is no particular place to detain the Angler, since 

 the Swan and Pike public-house and water have be- 

 come private or Government property, the several 

 proprietors not being very willing to grant permission 

 to the Angler to try his skill. To the left, near Se- 

 wardstone-mills, stands the deserted unlicensed pub- 

 lic-house, the Crown, formerly much frequented : about 

 a mile further, near Chinkford, is Shury Carpenter's, 

 or Flander's Weir subscription- water and house, at a 

 guinea per annum 5 which water is well stored with 

 Gudgeons, Roach, Dace, Perch, Barbel, Chub, nume- 

 rous heavy Eels, Jack, and Pike. A friend of mine 

 (Mr. Finer) lately took a Trout in this water, which 

 weighed eight pounds — a live Gudgeon was the bait. 



Bleak Hall, or Cook's Ferry, 



is a public-house kept by Mr. Wicks, for the ac- 

 commodation of Anglers, and is situated close to the 

 river, in a sequestered rural spot, at the bottom of 

 Water Lane, which is opposite the Angel Inn, Edmon- 

 ton, say about six miles from London, and for many 

 years well known to, and frequented by, the lovers of 

 angling. The waters are stored with Carp, Barbel, 

 Chub, Jack, Pike, Roach, Gudgeon, Perch, Eels, &c.
