Webster's Pond
Webster's Pond
Named after the family who inhabited the then nearby Calderpark House up till about 1931. The pond is not natural, it appeared over a period of time after the closure of Calderbank Colliery and is the result of subsidence due to coal mining. The surrounds were considerably enhanced in the 1970s by Youth Opportunities work programmes [the famous 'Yoppers'] supervised by the nearby zoo staff in a bid to include it as part of that.
