The next four gallery sections below are of the major pond regeneration scheme currently being undertaken to bring the pond back from its rather stagnant condition to one more in keeping with its post construction condition as seen in the photos from 1985 below. These four sections are all interlinked.

Post construction	1985	Scans of photos from 1985, shortly after the park was opened, with links to photos taken in July 2018 of the same views before the regeneration works started. Each page opens in a new tab so they can be compared.

All of these 23 categories below were as their links imply, taken on standard film stock before we had access to a Digital Camera. They were scanned at 72dpi from 6"x4" matt prints so the quality is not that good, especially at large screen sizes.
