Lawbrook, upstream from Blackheath Lane
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 15 Apr 2015
Looking upstream (and roughly south-east) from a point close to Blackheath Lane. There is a good deal of watercress growing along this little river, and this must once have been exploited commercially - the words 'Watercress Beds (disused)' appear on the map a little downstream. Although a number of minor roads cross the Lawbrook valley at various points, there is no road that runs along it, so that it feels very secluded by the standards of south-east England. There is - it has to be said - a railway line, but there are only a few trains per hour, and they don't intrude for long.
