The blue lagoon does not exist and now it’s like it was never there, in fact, if it wasn’t for the many swimmers that drowned in the lake you would be forgiven for thinking it wasn’t.

Nearly every pool and lake in the area was altered or filled in, Bateswood lake shown here replaced the razer after the opencast. The picture was taken by me a few years after it had been established
