Perhaps this refers to Soudley Ponds, by all accounts a well-known angling and swimming location. It can be easily found on Streetmap by searching Buckshaft Road. If so, there are several fatalities reported in the newspapers,

1932 Cyril James WATTS, 15, of Nag’s Head Place, Cinderford

1934 Richard Leslie George HAWKINS, 20, butcher’s assistant of Cinderford

1938 Frank Edward MORSE, 46

1939 Edith Emma Curtis, 59, 6 Buckshaft Road, Ruspidge

1941 Clara Beatrice HILLMAN, 61, of 46 Church Road, Cinderford
