Pad Field Pond - Lancaster
Image: © Tom Howard Taken: 12 Jul 2011
In the area of what remains of the 'Pad Fields' or 'Paddy Fields' as some would call it, still exists a pond, marked by the bushes. In the 50s and early 60s I and friends would spend many a happy interesting hour catching/watching the tadpoles, frogs, and newts. Alas these days it is glogged up and is more like a swamp, sad to say.
