Tourist Guide

New ponds, Newland. You won't find these on the OS Map, or Google Earth. This area was extensively mined with opencast collieries, and clay workings for brick making. It is now being reclaimed, partly by landfill with Wakefield's rubbish. These ponds are approximately on the site of the brickworks shown on the OS map.
