Swindon: Liden Lagoon
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 12 Oct 2007
Liden Lagoon is, I think, a storm water balancing pond that was excavated in the 1960s, and allows a gradual release of water, particularly in a flood event, over a weir to the watercourse downstream. Artificial banks appear to have been recently constructed radiating out here from the northern of the two islands in the lagoon, visible here on the left.
