Aerial view of Thundersley Plotlands Lake District
This area of plotlands is known as the 'Lake District' because many of the roads are named after Cumbrian lakes. Bassenthwaite Road runs from just above the lower left corner to a point below the centre. Keswick Road runs above and parallel to this up to a group of houses below-left of centre. Here it meets Windermere Road which runs down to the lower right, and also runs left, then turns to run to the right. Coniston Road runs from Windermere Road (between the junctions with Keswick Road and Bassenthwaite Road) to the centre left (and parallel with Windermere Road). The patch of woodland between Keswick Road and Bassenthwaite Road includes the Thundersley Oaks nature conservation area Image

Thundersley pond before filling
When we first moved to Thundersley in 1975, this pond was small and choked. In 1985, the council decided to excavate a newer, larger one. Here, the excavations have finished, and the pond is beginning to fill. Image shows it after filling.

Thundersley pond after filling
This was taken in early 1986, when the pond had filled, and settled down. Over the next few years, it became a fine wildlife pond with abundant dragonflies. Image shows it before filling.

Thundersley Oaks Nature Conservation Area
Thundersley Oaks is a small area of Essex plotland in Bassenthwaite Rd, owned by the Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/ . Much of the surrounding plotland is either built on, totally neglected or is used for horse grazing. Thundersley Oaks is receiving a modest amount of management to preserve a good vegetation understorey.

Thundersley Oaks
Thundersley Oaks is one of the smaller Essex Wildlife Trust Reserves http://www.essexwt.org.uk/ , its existence is not advertised much as too many visitors would damage the flora and probably annoy the neighbours! The trees seem to be more established than in John Rostron’s 1983 photo Image were there is some more info on the reserve.

Aerial view of Thundersley Plotlands from the south
This south-eastern area of the plotlands is much more wooded. The houses to the bottom left and centre-left are New Thundersley, with the Manor Trading Estate left of centre. At the bottom, right of centre, St Peter's Church is clearly seen. (As I write this, it is shrouded in mist.) The road visible to the right of the church is Church Road, which is also visible above-left of the church on its descent from the escarpment. Further to the left, this road passes Robert Drake School and then the Manor Trading Estate. Above right of Robert Drake School is an area of scrub that is now occupied by the Heston Lodge care centre.
