Dist:0.4km north<br/>Hidden away behind the flats on the east side of Alexandra Avenue, (visible over the trees here), is Newton Farm Ecology Park. This was originally haymaking farmland and then a Victorian sewage farm, and is marked as such on the OS 1940s mapping. A remnant of this area, alongside The Roxbourne brook, was not been built over during the suburban sprawl that followed the arrival of the Metropolitan railway line. Today the area is managed to try to bring back various species of wildlife that have disappeared. This is the pond with its small reed bed. A large part of the area of the ecology park is also designed to be a flood storage area in case The Roxbourne bursts its banks.
