Abstract/Summary

This report provides a summary of the work to date on The Moor Pond Woods Project. The Moor Pond Woods Project is a Local Heritage Initiative (LHI) grant-aided scheme, set up as amillennium project by Papplewick Parish Council in 1999. Its aim has been to enhance the largely wooded area between the west side of the village and the River Leen for local recreational use, for nature conservation, and as an educational resource. This area contains relict features dating from the Industrial Revolution including earthworks of leats and silted-up former millponds and sluices, parts of a complex water management system designed to power a series of cotton mills built by George Robinson alongside the Leen.
