Local Sites - Nob End
The Nob End site is a former tip of waste from the chemical industries. The
waste was initially very toxic and inhibited any growth. Subsequently, much
of the most toxic waste was removed, resulting is a habitat which could support
new vegetation. However the chemical residues meant the substrate was quite different
from typical soils of the area, so the plants which grew were unusual for this
part of the country.
Nob End has been managed as a nature reserve for many years because of the special
flora found there.
