Here the River Mimram passes under Fulling Mill Lane just outside Welwyn; this is a ford when river levels are high. There was a water mill here (the building still survives) fed by a separate channel. The Mimram flows for 12 miles across Hertfordshire rising near Whitwell and is a tributary of the River Lea.
