This western section of the Duke of Northumberland's River was constructed during the reign of King Henry VIIIth. It takes water from the River Colne and was designed to supplement the flow to existing mills. This view looks eastwards from near the footbridge on the path just north of Richmond Avenue in Bedfont and although the bank appears in the photograph to be accessible, there is no access.
