The Radley Gravel Pits in 2005

Aerial Photographs

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.
