This is the stream that caused the Environment Agency to put in the flood warning station shown in Image This is taken after a dry spell. The gauge board is only just in the water. But you can see the kind of flows that the bridge has been constructed to cater for by looking at the size of the main arch and the side channels. And Gavray Drive ? Sounds like one of those forename compound words, like it was built by two guys called Gavin and Raymond, but actually it's named after a town in Normandy.
