Full Description
Artificial reservoir formed by damming a stream with a brick wall at some unknown date before the mid 19th century. Pipes supplied various houses in the town and a brewery, hence the name; some pipes were occasionally discovered as late as the 1960s, when the surrounding houses were built and the pond ornamentalised.
