The entrance to Over

Work started in 2007 to improve the entrance to Over Basin. The stretch between the road and the bailey bridge had consisted of just compacted rubble. To improve this paviors were laid and the foundations put in for drop bollards to be installed.

 

Skew Gardens
Alongside the entrance was a difficult slope to the water’s edge.

The area was transformed with curved walls around a new planting area, steps down by the bridge and a winding path, suitable for disabled access to the Basin. The curves have became known as Skew Gardens.
