Branch Hill Pond, as depicted in John Constable’s painitng
(Picture: Tate)A Hampstead Heath pond made famous by the paintings and sketches of John Constable is set to be restored 140 years after it dried up.
Branch Hill Pond is immortalised in the artist’s two century-old works of the scenery from London’s highest point but visitors have not been able to see any water at the spot since the 1880s when it was filled in.
