TQ1272 : The Mill Stream, Crane Park
taken 12 years ago, near to Hanworth, Hounslow, England
The Mill Stream, Crane Park
This is the channel that once took the River Crane to the wheels of the old gunpowder mills which operated here until 1927. Link
The wheels are long gone, but the sluices are still visible. The millstream is now silted and overgrown as you see, but is no doubt a very good habitat. It's part of Crane Park Island nature reserve.
Most of the river flow now goes down the channel to the south of the island.
