Open space parallel to Fields Farm Road, Long Eaton
The road runs behind a long fence among the trees, left. Barker's Pond is through the trees, right. The tree with the pale bark is an Ash; it's dead. The path leads to the Erewash Canal.

Looking northwest across Barker's Pond, Long Eaton
Wyvern Avenue, right, overlooks this fishing lake. I saw at least one angler in place on this sunny November morning. Old maps show it as Fish Pond, later just Pond. Only streetmap.co.uk calls it Barkers Pond but I'm following Ian Calderwood in giving it an apostrophe:

Barker's Pond
Barker's Pond has been a fish pond since at least the 1880s and pre-dates everything round about it.

Oak tree by Barker's Pond, Long Eaton
The houses are in Wyvern Avenue. There are several fishing pegs around the pond – and at least one fisherman on this sunny November morning.

Northwest on Wyvern Avenue, Long Eaton
As seen elsewhere, a mix of bungalows and two-storey houses. The concrete lamp post was leaning, not the photographer.
