Aylesbury: Pond by Bear Brook
When the Aylesbury Flood Alleviation Scheme was being planned and built an existing low-lying area near the prone to flood Bear Brook was excavated to make this pond. The small island in the middle seen here was designed as a refuge for roosting birds.
The boundary between the Civil Parishes of Aylesbury, to the left, and Bierton with Broughton, to the right, runs more or less down the middle of the pond.

Broughton: Bear Brook Flood Storage Area Bund
Bear Brook has always been prone to bursting its banks, and, with the increasing residential development of Aylesbury, it became necessary in the 1990s to control any flood event by storing potential flood water upstream of the town. This long straight bund, which is about 400 metres long, forms the right side of the flood storage area, and follows the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. The canal is to the left, beyond the bushes in this view, and the flood storage area is to the right. The top surface of the bund is formed of "grasscrete" slabs, which are blocks of concrete with large holes in. The holes in the slabs enable grass to grow through to give a natural appearance, but the blocks themselves are still strong enough to provide a surface on which maintenance vehicles can be driven.
For a view taken 6 minutes later from the other end of the bund and in completely different weather conditions please see Image
