Bumping into a local man, he explained that the landowner had this old mill pond cleared a few years ago. Once it would have provided a reliable water supply for the mills and tannery lower down in Wollard, but became disused and Nature subsequently filled it with vegetation. There must have been a lot of effort in removing the overgrowth to return this delightful feature.
