Pond back to former glory

The pond at the heart of Spalding’s Ayscoughfee Garden is full once again after a huge refurbishment programme.

The resident fish, which were temporarily put into holding tanks, have also returned and the gardens are back to their usual best.

The £8,000 overhaul started in February and the pond had to be completely drained for repair and maintenance.

It was the first major work on the pond since the 1980s.
