The River Pool was opened up and landscaped in 1995-6 to create Riverview Walk, as part of the SaveCentre development on the nearby Bell Green Gas Works site. The River Pool prior to that had run beneath the gas works in a culvert. Unfortunately the landscaping in Riverview Walk, with the hard concrete edges to the river, was not as attractive as in the River Pool Linear Park to the north - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2519660. This view is looking upriver.
