Liden Lagoon, Swindon (1)
The lagoon is, I believe, a flood storage facility built during the development of the South Dorcan Extension of the late 1960s to early 1980s. It provides a habitat for various water birds and a leisure resource. This a view to the north-east.

Swindon: Liden Lagoon
Liden Lagoon is, I think, a storm water balancing pond that was excavated in the 1960s, and allows a gradual release of water, particularly in a flood event, over a weir to the watercourse downstream. Artificial banks appear to have been recently constructed radiating out here from the northern of the two islands in the lagoon, visible here on the left.

Liden Lagoon, Swindon (5)
The main purpose of the lagoon is flood storage. The lagoon is fed by a stream flowing into it from the south-east. The outflow is to the north-east via the small weir hidden in this photograph by the footbridge on the left. The outlow eventually joins the River Cole which itself drains into the River Thames.

Liden Lagoon in winter, Swindon
The air temperature is slightly above freezing. Most nights lately it has been slightly below and the surface of the lagoon has a thin layer of ice. There was snow overnight and it has formed a slushy coat on the water. A few snowballs thrown into the lagoon make these small craters.
