Hollingbury Dew Pond
Image: © Paul Gillett Taken: 21 Aug 2012
This restoration was from an overgrown site, the pond had been partly filled/flattened out with the rubble from a nearby barn that was demolished, early 1900's to make a green for the golf course. Subsequently (1950's ?) the course was remodelled and this area left to become overgrown. Efforts by volunteers cleared the site and surrounding area to allow restoration. Again, high rainfal has resulted in a higher than expected water level and erosion, recently made good with new clay. http://dewponds.co.uk/bton_hollingbury.htm
