Pond, Quarry Banks Nature Reserve, 2006
The reserve is owned by Cumbria Wildlife Trust http://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/quarry-banks . It occupies 1.8 ha between the Pow Maughan Beck and the Settle-Carlisle railway line. The area was previously quarried for sandstone used to construct the railway, and flooding of the abandoned workings created this pond.

Pond, Quarry Banks Nature Reserve, 2016
The reserve is owned by Cumbria Wildlife Trust http://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/quarry-banks . The pond was created by partial flooding of a disused quarry. The sandstone was used in construction of the Settle-Carlisle railway, a stretch of which forms the eastern boundary of the reserve.
There is not much aquatic vegetation in the pond, because it is shaded by the surrounding woodland. However, there are plenty of tree saplings emerging from the water. We got the impression that these had increased in number since we visited the site 10 years previously (see photo taken 2006

Woodland, Quarry Banks Nature Reserve
The reserve slopes down from the Settle-Carlisle railway line on its eastern boundary, towards Pow Maughan Beck. Sandstone was quarried here in the 19th century for construction of the railway. In 1987 the land was donated by British Rail to the Cumbria Wildlife Trust http://www.cumbriawildlifetrust.org.uk/reserves/quarry-banks .
Quarry Banks is dedicated to the memory of Allan Wilson, a former education adviser and Trust committee member.
