Mutton Brook eventually merges with Dollis Brook to form the River Brent. It is seen here looking downstream from the Brookland Rise bridge, where a large tree has fallen across it and has the potential to create a flood situation. If debris brought downstream from elsewhere in a heavy flow event accumulates against the branches in the brook it could eventually block the brook and force the water to flow out of bank. The co-ordinates of the subject and photographer positions are taken from the Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale mapping because the 1:50,000 scale mapping is cartographically badly distorted by the need to represent the nearby A1 much wider than it actually is.
