So, today I spent some time exploring a small part of York that I have never visited before. This is Railway Pond in Dringhouses, one of four ponds that once existed in the area, and which were the by-product of the brick making industry.
This pond belonged to British Rail, the nationalised railway company, until a large area of railway land was sold for housing development in 1985. Fortunately the developers retained and enhanced the area around the pond as part of the housing development.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I think more visits to this site will be needed to see how it changes through the seasons.
