The working party was in full swing last month with the clearance around, and in, the ponds below the Echo. Here are a few images of the results along with the shots kindly taken by Bob Pitchford of the work in progress. A full record and more detail of August’s work is available here.

Next month the working party will take place a week later than advertised on the 20th September. The 13th of September will be Bristol Doors open day at Kings Weston House.

Not the best match up of views of the upper pond, but you can see the difference. From overgrown mud hole to open water.

The lower pond was cleared of debris, and the upper pond appears out of the undergrowth.

Looking across the lower pond towards the Echo showing the quantity of material on the banks that we dredged out of it. Laurels vanish from the middle distance.
