This is Guildford Road, once the A322, at the junction with Riverside Avenue. Riverside is perhaps a misnomer as the only watercourse in the vicinity is a small stream, barely a metre wide, that discharges from a lake on the left side of the road, under the road, through the Riverside Avenue estate and down under the A322 Lightwater Bypass to join Windle Brook. The green cabinet on the right contains an Environment Agency gauging station that would warn of dangerously high or fast water flows from the lake that could potentially cause a flood event in the estate downstream.
