The Reed Pond is a former clay pit which was dug by hand in the 19th century. It provided clay for bricks and tiles used to build houses in North Ferriby and similar clay products were later transported to Hull by barge from a nearby jetty. The pit closed shortly after World War 1 and has since become a haven for wildlife.
