News of The Duck Pond (just for Rafflesbear).

The pond has been de listed so that the work could be continued!!! The pond was lined with modern breeze block prior to being faced with old stone. Some very striking, new house bricks have been placed around the edge. The base is now being sealed with a special compund of mud and the turfs will be being relayed around the edges shortly. At that point, I assume, they will try to get it re listed again. The bricks were in fact an original feature of the pond but disappeared over the years to be replaced by whatever was handy (still not too sure about the colour!!!)

Anyway, hopefully, the pond could well be completed by the time the Beer & Folk Weekend happen??!! Let's hope so, as it has been a building site for over a year and a half.
