Water Mill on the Colne at Uxbridge
Image: © Des Blenkinsopp Taken: 17 Oct 2011
A mid 18C mill on one of the complex of channels which form the lower Colne. The millstream leaves the main river just by the A40 bridge in the square to the north while the rest of river goes on to join the Grand Union Canal above Uxbridge Lock. So it's same head of water operating the mill as is going through the lock although the two structures are some way apart. The streams rejoin just downstream of the bridge where I'm standing.
