The watersedge country park is on the sight of the former Britag chemical plant. The ground was considered too contaminated to build houses on so was left to flood and form the many lakes and pools. The area is now an important site for nature conservation with footpaths for people to walk through and enjoy.
It is alongside the Humber Bridge at Barton on Humber.

Barton was once known for it's tile works, a tile work still exists on another site. These roffing
tiles have been used to create a wall. |
