The East bank starts at the South end of Slipper House, No 2 Slipper Road and continues as far as the South corner near Slipper Mill.

abt. 1950

As noted in the History the main section of the bank was originally the foreshore and at shore level. The mill lorry drivers originally maintained it, and when the pond was dredged the spoil was dragged back to form it and the base of Slipper Road.

From time to time the Bank has been improved and strengthened and additional material placed on it. The fringing reeds form a very useful barrier to limit the effects of wave action on the soft bank and a careful watch is being kept on their growth.
