View
looking east-wards down onto the clean blue waters
of Bullfield Lake (centre). To the right of this
can be seen the route of the old Abingdon bunk line
joining to the mainline railway, running diagonally
across the upper left half of the image. The
large greenish lake is Thrupp Lake. Beyond that, west
of the railway, are the lakes that have been filled
with fuel ash since 2001. These are, left to right,
'J/P', 'G', 'H/I' (the big orange one). Beyond the
railway are the lakes 'A'-'D' that were filled with
fuel ash during 1984 - 2001. The wetland area on the
right-hand edge is lake 'M'. The River Thames can
be seen along the top right-hand edge of the picture.
The small blue area near top centre is a recently-created
artificial pond for wildlife, which is seen to have
shrunk to less than half of its normal size.
