Hughenden Valley Pumping Station

Located at the source of the Hughenden Stream, a chalk stream which now only flows on the rare occasions when the water table is high enough. The balance between river flow and groundwater abstraction is a problem over much of southern England. One effect of this may be the dead tree. Only two years ago it was a beautiful willow, as seen here Image but we have had some dry summers since then.
