The lagoon is, I believe, a flood storage facility built during the development of the South Dorcan Extension of the late 1960s to early 1980s. It provides a habitat for various water birds and a leisure resource including coarse fishing. A local resident has placed birdfood on the fishing platform in the foreground. This a view to the north-west.
