 There is a house, the Six Bells, within 200 yards of the 

 water, where a dinner is provided on Stmdays, and every ! 

 attontion paid to anglers who can only avaU themselves of !

 who do not consider anglers as travellers, and the threats of

 to all till one o'clock ; however, breakfast or tea can be 

 obtained at the cottage of Daniel Soputs, who resides about
