Coke Oven Reach

....I think this is it with Dungeon Corner just left of Centre

Yes, Howard is right - Dungeon Corner is the tight, almost 90 degree bend in that stretch of river. I've attempted to discover how it got that name a few times in the past, but have yet to come up with an answer.

Found them! I hope Peter doesn't  mind, but these are the images showing the old reach names that he posted a few years ago which might be of interest.

Hi Carol - somewhere in the back of my mind I recall that Dungeon Corner reflected the depth of water originally around that spot. Something about it being so deep, the depths were as black as a dungeon?

Having said that, probably a lud of ole squit on my part!!!
