her well to Deptford : the angler will find the 

 best sport between the bridge over the Kent 

 Road and Deptford Lower Road, where the 

 water is deep and broad. 



THE CROYDON CANAL, 



which passes under the Kent Road near New 

 Cross, winding through corn fields and woods 

 to Sydenham-common,is navigable from Dept- 

 ford to Croydon : in this canal there are many 

 good fish, and much retired and pleasant an- 

 gling (the views and general rural scenery are 

 rarely to be excelled) : it contains fine Perch, 

 Roach, Gudgeons, Eels, &c. and is free for 

 any one to angle in, all the way to Croydon. 



At Sydenham are some pieces of water 

 well stored with fine Carp, which are free 

 to the angler, on his paying an annual sub- 

 scription : Sydenham is a very pretty village, 

 in a retired situation on the south side of Nor- 

 wood, about eight miles from the capital.
