Pond at the Nook, Bedworth

The Nook is one of the many small nature and wildlife parks dotted around Nuneaton & Bedworth, often on former industrial sites. The pond at the Nook has formed next to one of the headwaters of the River Sowe. It doesn't appear on the OS Six Inch map, 1888-1913 series, and is perhaps a flash resulting from subsidence caused by the nearby Newdigate Colliery, which closed in 1982. The pond is clearly popular with a flock of Canada geese, who have decided to leave the water en masse to go pecking in the undergrowth nearby.
