Oak Avenue Local Nature Reserve was created by the Borough Council on the site of a former tropical aquatic nursery. It was once a derelict and dangerous site, covered in broken glass, but was transformed into a sanctuary for wildlife around 1990. Oak Avenue was declared a statutory Local Nature Reserve in 1992. This view looks from the nature reserve across a field grazed by horses to the houses of Armstrong Road.
