Part of what was a flooded clay pit for what was from the late 19th Century until 1909 Sparrow's brickworks. It was subsequently developed into an outdoors swimming facility forming part of a rose garden and nursery operated by nurseryman Henry Weller (hence the name). This ceased in around the 1950s after which the area was developed for housing.
