This pool on the Griff Brook was dug to hold run-off water from the nearby business park and prevent flooding. Bermuda Village nearby was built in 1893 to house miners working at the new Griff Clara colliery. Like Newdigate Colliery in Bedworth, the village drew its name from the local landowners at Arbury Hall, one of whom had recently served as governor of Bermuda. https://web.archive.org/web/20070310154326/http://www.nuneaton-online.org.uk/nuneaton/bermuda.htm
