From the Wikipedia article

Miller's Pond is an 8.1-hectare (20-acre) Local Nature Reserve in Southampton in Hampshire. It is owned by Southampton City Council. The site is managed by the charity Sholing Valleys Study Centre. The pond is managed for both angling and wildlife. There are also areas of acid grassland and semi-natural woodland. The pond is fed by springs and drains to the stream that runs through Mayfield Park.

Background

History

There has been a pond on the site since at least the mid 18th century. In February 2022 Sholing Valleys Study Centre announced a plan for reconstruction work on the pond involving dredging and reinforcing the banks. Shortly afterwards the pond was found to be home to the invasive topmouth gudgeon.
