There are two parts of the Central Section of the River Manifold
  (i) The Former Harpur Crewe water which is now owned by the Club. This is one long stretch on the West bank.
  (ii) The ‘Sheldon House’ water, on the East bank, which the Club leases from the owners. This comprises two sections totalling approximately one and a quarter miles of single bank, opposite some of the former Harpur Crewe water. One section is on the map of the River Manifold - North and the other on this, Central Section, Map. The section of the Sheldon House water on this map is on the east bank going south from Brund Mill.
  When visiting the Sheldon House Water cars may be parked at ‘Sheldon House’. Use the gate to the house and not the farmyard. Park at the side of the house, on the left and at the end of the drive, after closing the gate. Members should call at the house on the first visit only and show their membership card to the owner.
