Incredible are the numbers of eels caught here in the months of July, August, and September. During a storm of thunder, several horse loads are frequently caught in a few hours, and all the eels here are of that kind known by the name of the Silver Eel. Bower-Bank pays an annual rent of 11s. and 10d. to Kendale Castle, and has been in all probability purchased by the barons of Kendale for the sake of the fisheries." |
