The otherwise unnavigable River Gade http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3417447 has been incorporated into the Grand Union Canal on this stretch. To the right a new development of canalside houses and apartments is under construction. To ensure safe separation of canal and dwellings the canal bank has been strengthened by a line of sheet piles. A mallard duck shares the canal with a couple of drakes.
