The mill pond at the rear of the former Forge Mill, with the route followed by the Robin Hood railway line and the tram line visible in the distance. The pond is fed by the River Leen after it has left the nearby Mill Lakes area. The pond is now in use by a private fishing club and there is no longer access to a former public footpath along the edge of it. Bayles and Wylie Ltd of Calverton have sold these premises that they were previously using as a packing and storage warehouse. Whilst the new owner has consent to convert the upper floors into 11 apartments, it has been reported that "a deal has been done with a charity who will use the grounds and the first floor for textile-based employment purposes".
