Background
History
Historically, the margin marking the boundary between Donington and Albrighton was shown by the Humphreston Brook. John Talbot, a miller in the early 17th century, created Donington Pool by damming the brook at Rectory Road, in order to power his mill with a non-stop water supply. However, because of this damming, he was fined by Donington, but not by Albrighton due to permission for the mill already being approved. The original pool that was created was bigger, but due to stages of hydrosere succession, it is gradually shrinking, and will eventually turn into marshland and wet woodland.
