Tyttenhanger: Gravel pit conveyor belt
Reviewing old Ordnance Survey maps of this area the abstraction of gravel appears to be a comparatively recent development, with a 1960s 1:10,000 scale map showing the original hedge and field layout alongside the River Colne largely intact since historic times. By 1971 though the first gravel pits had appeared on the mapping, and the area is currently actively worked. On the day of the photograph the belt was running but not carrying gravel. This view was taken from the bridge carrying a public footpath over the conveyor belt. For a view in the opposite direction please see Image
