Barton Mere
On the OS map this lake is shown as being considerably larger than it currently is. There's an interesting quote, taken from The Book of Days - A Miscellany of Popular Antiquities (1862), which states, "The price of corn rises and falls with Barton Mere, an eccentric piece of water which varies in size from twelve to fourteen acres, to a small pond, and is sometimes entirely dried up. ....a worthy old farmer .... used frequently to ride to Barton Mere to observe the state of the water there, before proceeding to Bury market. .... it is an observed fact that the price of corn, and the height of the water, frequently do vary together. For instance, corn is now very low, and the mere is nearly dry. Probably the character of the weather may affect both in common..."
