Brookfield Pond (also known as the CPA - Calico Printers Association - pond) dates from the 1850s when it was built to provide a supply of clean water to a nearby print works. That role has now ceased but the pond is now an important wildlife site and is owned by Whaley Bridge Town Council. Public access is available from Reservoir Road and these benches are provided to allow peaceful contemplation.
