This pool was originally created in 1787 at the same time as the Meadow Mill, the remains of which lie below the dam wall. The waters from the original pool fed three 20-foot diameter water wheels that powered the hammering and rolling machinery that worked copper and brass at the Mill.

Four fishing pegs have been initially installed thanks to support from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund. These are the first phase of a scheme which aims to create a path all-round the Meadow Mill Pool with eleven fishing pegs. It will be a number of years before the pool reaches the standard we are aiming for.

The Trust would like to thank those individual members of the local community who have worked with us on creating the Meadow Mill Community Fishing Pool. We continue to look for funding for the next steps and welcome further support from the local community.

The pool has been developed as a community fishing resource and priority is given to young people fishing. Adults supporting young people, including fishing alongside them, are welcome but solo adult anglers would be expected to make way if young people are waiting for a peg. All under 13s are to be accompanied by an adult.

All anglers MUST have to have a permit from the Greenfield Valley, Initially, these will be free.
