Winter sunshine gives a strong reflection of the narrowboats moored here at Cassio Wharf and of the bridge which carries the disused Croxley Green branch railway. The first of the boats is 'Asterope', originally built in 1935 as a cargo-carrying vessel but much modified since. Asterope, incidentally, is listed as a girl's name meaning lightning.
