This new estate borders both sides of the New River on which large numbers of Canada geese are to be seen. This may explain why all the roads are named after places in Canada.

The Mylne Aqueduct on the New River in Turnford
See
Image
Little information is available about the construction of the Mylne Aqueduct in Turnford; it dates from around 1855, part of the 1850s works to straighten a number of loops in the New River that shortened its route (in total) by almost 20km.
The four-arch brick aqueduct was designed by New River Surveyor William Chadwell Mylne (1871-1863), son of Robert Mylne (1733-1811), who had also been Surveyor - see

More woodland lost to housing
The picture shows the few remaining trees that are standing on what was until recently an undeveloped patch of Turnford opposite Turnford college.
One and two bedroom flats are to built on this piece of land between High Road Turnford and the Canadas development that can be seen in the background.
Supporting the current Government's policy of concreting the south east.
