This is a giant 'balancing pond', on Sunbank Lane: an artificial basin into which water drains from a building project. So constructed as to ensure that local watercourses are not overloaded during heavy rainfall, thereby preventing flooding of the site. Installed, in this case, at the new World Logistics Hub, near Manchester Airport.
