Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Beside overgrown pond at Holly Spring House Taken about 1965. House and property now replaced with new housing.
The ornamental pond and its surroundings had been overwhelmed by nature. Long grasses mixed with the tulips, weeds grew in the water, but the wild oasis provided a haven for am astonishing variety of wildlife. Large ornamental goldfish survived despite the regular attentions of a heron. Hundreds of froglets swarmed from the pond onto the lawn in front of the big house. A kestrel raised young in an adjacent tree and even a kingfisher frequented the pond. A grass snake lived under a tree stump and I once caught it out basking in the sun. All within a few minutes walk of the hubbub that was the Met Office roundabout, even in 1965. Sad these places have to be bulldozed and built upon. |
