Contaminated land becomes wood
The strip of land between the River Rea and the railway next to Rea Road in Northfield was planted with trees and mainly left to nature. This is where the original Kalamazoo factory stood until it was demolished leaving contaminated land. Where the rest of the Kalamazoo site is now housing this strip could not be redeveloped.

Deposition and erosion (1)
The River Rhea as it goes through Daffodil Park, Longbridge shows deposition and erosion at a rapid rate. The river quickly swells during rain and brings gravel down the river which is deposited on the inside of the curves. When the river level drops this can be seen as in this picture. The bank on the outside has been cut away but this can not be seen due to the brambles.
