The Chase Nature Reserve was formerly a site used for gravel extraction. It now comprises a mosaic of wildlife habitats ranging from horse grazed pastures to woodland and wetland. See https://www.havering.gov.uk/Pages/ServiceChild/NatureReserves-TheChase.aspx The Beam River here is just below its confluence with the Ravensbourne above which the Beam River is known as the River Rom. The Beam flows into the Thames at Dagenham - see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Rom for more information. This view from a footbridge looks upriver.
