Brigstock Road: looking downstream at the crossing of Norbury Brook

The Norbury Brook is a tributary of the Thames that slides mostly unnoticed through suburbia, along the backs of gardens. This is taken from Brigstock Road looking downstream. It was a day of heavy rain and autumnal gales, and the water level in the brook had risen noticeably: despite its invisibility, it still does what a natural watercourse does in these circumstances, whether people are watching or not. See also Image for the view in the other direction at this point, and Image for the next crossing downstream at Quadrant Road.
