Langwith pool table ended up in the watery depths in 1994 in suspicious circumstances, in the same year bales of hay were placed in the water to try and improve its quality, and broken glass is said to be at the bottom of the lake from the original construction. | The odd one out is the duck, because that is the only one that is supposed to be in the lake.
