When Helen and Dick Robinson purchased the land at Hyde Hall in the 1950s, renovation of the pond in front of the farmhouse was their first major construction project. The farm pond was cleared of rubbish, then stocked with waterlilies and other flowering aquatic plants, as well as several types of fish – koi carp, golden orfe and golden rudd.
