The Portals settlement ponds in Station Road. (The picture was probably taken from Foxdown). More correctly called lagoons, this series of "ponds" are the last stage of an efficient treatment process for water used in the manufacture of paper at Portals Mills. From here the water flows into the River Test where the abundance of fine brown trout is testimony to its purity.
