Title: The Lake, Chandlers Ford [Go to resource]
Description: Copy photograph of a postcard. The lakes may have originated as medieval fishponds. They have for several generations been a site of relaxation for local villagers. In the early twentieth century there are postcards showing skaters on the ice in winter. Feeding the ducks has a long tradition, although in this photograph the bird in view is a Mute swan! Postcards show Mandarin ducks on the lakes, a sign that ornamental birds had been released here. The lakes are now landscaped by Eastleigh Borough Council.
