Old large scale Ordnance Survey maps show that historically there have always been 3 ponds on the Thorpe Hall estate, created by the impounding of the valley of a tributary of Holland Brook. This view is of the 4th, most downstream, pond which appears to be a modern addition, as it does not appear on either the 1:25,000 or 1:50,000 scale Ordnance Survey mapping that the Geograph website currently uses. It is however visible on the OS Open Street mapping and satellite imagery. This is the view from the public footpath that crosses the estate.
