Frays River is a semi-canalised short river that branches off the River Colne at Uxbridge Moor and rejoins it at West Drayton. The river is believed to be an artificial diversion of waters from the River Colne to feed watermills around Uxbridge. The name originated from John Fray who owned Cowley Hall beside the river in the 15th century. This view is from Iver Lane.
