This used to be the grounds of a large house which was demolished in the early 1980s. The grounds were fenced off and landscaped, and a small pond and circular walk were created. Many trees and shrubs present in the grounds of the original house were retained. This view is of the fenced-off pond. The original pond became choked over time and was eventually restored.
