A second pond has appeared on Woodhouse Moor. Its location is near the corner of the park adjacent to the former Grammar School. It’s next to the pond which appeared about fifteen years ago. The heavy vehicles driving onto the Moor to deliver metal barriers for the annual bonfire have crushed and destroyed the Victorian clay pipe drainage system. This drainage system was laid in the 1860s, at vast expense, by Leeds City Council​,​ in order to transform the area from the bog it was into a public amenity park. Leeds City Council, by its actions now, is destroying what was so carefully and so expensively achieved 150 years ago.
