All very well but why did they bother knowing full well that it was going to end up for sale.
Bit of a waste of time if you ask me.
Because it needed doing. Waters created by damming a stream act as silt traps so periodically require dredging or digging out. My understanding is that the owners undertook the works at considerable cost (and as sympathetically as possible) to breathe life back into the pool. Not a profiteering investment as the outlay will not be reflected by any significant increase in sale value. It's historic value to many carp anglers and indeed angling in general is not lost on them it would appear. Good landowners understand that in reality they are just temporary custodians and have an inherent sense of duty to hand things over in as good as, if not better, state than they received them. This island needs more of these kind in my opinion. I think it's a fitting effort and applaud all involved
