In my childhood after the war the much-straightened Leen was wider here, and much polluted by dyeing and bleaching works and other factories upstream. For a wider, non-zoom view from the same place in less leafy November 2009, see Image], which shows the houses built on brownfield sites either side of the river in the last part of the twentieth century.
