Crane Park at the powder mills site

This is the mill race downstream of where one of the lower powder mills was. The Hounslow Powder Mills had a complex layout of mills and associated waterways. Not all of the waterways are still present, but this one seems to have been associated with a mill at the camera position, and also with a mill which discharged through a channel just behind the large trees. This second channel has been filled in.
