Blakemere Pond
Blakemere Pond, also known as Black Mere Pool or Mermaid's Pond, is a small, natural lake in Staffordshire, England. It is situated 10 km north-west of Leek. The pond is the subject of an enduring legend that claims that the water is haunted by the ghost of a mermaid.〔The Mermaids of the Peak District,http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/The-Mermaids-of-the-Peak-District/〕
== History ==
The earliest known record of the lake is from 1686, when Robert Plot wrote about it in The Natural History of Staffordshire.〔Robert Plot, The Natural History of Staffordshire, Oxford, 1686, pp 44, 290–91〕 According to this text, the pond used to be much larger than its current diameter of 50 meters. There is some evidence of an artificial trench dug towards its eastern shore which could be the remnants of an attempt to lower the water level.
Over the centuries the pond has been the scene of a number of drownings and a murder when, in 1679, a woman pedlar was dumped in the pool by a local serial killer.〔The Mermaid of Black Mere Pool,http://www.imaginingstaffordshire.org.uk/mystery/mys2.htm ,publisher=Imagining Staffordshire〕
