Viewed from the corner of Shakespeare Crescent. At first glance, the trees on the side of Masefield Vale suggest a pleasant 'green lung' in the middle of the Gaer housing estate. But a notice warns CONTAMINATED WATER - KEEP CLEAR. The water is in a small brook, shown on the Ordnance Survey map as an 'issue', draining the higher ground on the west side of Masefield Vale. I do not know when or how the water was contaminated.
