Hello.Has anyone out there got any memories regarding Glen Faba.As a boy nearly a half century ago.We fished along the River Stort and I can remember Glen Faba vividly, it was not a place to enter.Fierce guard dogs patrolled the area. And at the time could be described as a shanty town.Moving forward to the late 60s I got into conversation with the local lock keeper who went on to describe the day Great Train Robber Roy"The Weasel"James was apprehended at Glen Faba.Again in the 1970s the place was in the news for all the wrong reasons, an old lady had died there and her body lay undiscovered for many months.After much legal wrangling over ownership the place was shut down and the site cleared.But still the name lives on in the form of Glen Faba lake.Northmetpit 12:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
