A little bit of History

We moved up to Yorkshire in 2004 to get away from the rat race "Essex that is ". All the way along Park Springs were lot of pallets loaded with young saplings and other kinds of vegetation  waiting to be planted on either side of the road. On the right was a mountain "A Coal Slag in fact" which has now been leveled off and turned in to a Nature Reserve. We did not discover Ferrymoor Flash until a couple of years later. This is actually part of the now gone Grimethorpe Colliery. Considering this all started as a great big hole in the ground it has become an excellent place to see wildlife.
