The Duke of Northumberland's River was dug in Tudor times to supply Syon Park House and mills in Isleworth. Seen here in the middle of Mogden Sewage works. "Built in 1931–36 by Middlesex County Council and now operated by Thames Water, Mogden is one of the largest sewage works in the United Kingdom. It treats the waste water from about 1.9 million people served by three sewers in North and West London. The plant has been extended and upgraded several times, most recently in 2011–13, and now covers 55 hectares." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogden_Sewage_Treatment_Works
