Introduction
The photograph on this page of Brickendon Brook in Hertford (1) by Nigel Cox as part of the Geograph project.
The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.

The photograph was taken looking upstream along Brickendon Lane, only about 70 metres upstream of the brook's confluence with the River Lee. Worryingly the bed of the brook here in March is totally dry. The long metal bars protect the culvert that runs under Horns Mill Road from large items of debris, while the dense mesh grille is a platform for maintenance workers.
