The River Ash may have given its name to Ashford, but in all other respects is one of the least known rivers in this area - less well known, for instance, than the Wraysbury River or the Colne. This stretch doesn't give the impression of having been heavily engineered - its bed is wide and must be fairly shallow. Flow is so sluggish that there are few places where the direction of flow can be made out. The shot was taken from a little bridge within sight of the David Lean Building, Shepperton Studios.
