Situated in Honor End Lane, this sheepwash pond is an ancient pond on the old Prestwood Commons that was used as a watering place for animals on their way to market. During 2008, it was restored by a local nature group and officially opened on Saturday 24th January 2009. The photo shows the dipping platform leading into the pond with the houses in Honor End Lane in the distance.
