Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 4 Oct 2007
One of the network of watercourses in Thamesmead, this one is at the rear of the houses in Austen Close. Apart from the coot in the water a heron is just visible lurking on the top of the bank to the right. The Thamesmead development has been built on the former Plumstead Marshes.
