Edmonton: Boundary Ditch and a little egret
Boundary Ditch marks the divide between Edmonton to the right and Ponders End to the left.
The white bird flying along the ditch is a little egret. The RSPB currently (in 2010) estimate that there are about 150 breeding pairs of these birds in the UK, with about 1,600 birds wintering, with the distribution mainly along the south and east coasts of England. To the photographer the number seems to be a gross underestimate, because they seem to be much commoner than that, while their distribution seems to be much more widespread to the extent that one would not be surprised to see one on any inland watercourse in south-eastern England any more.
Egrets are small herons and live on fish, and this one was feeding in the water before it was disturbed. The egret's presence here would also imply that the ditch is clean enough to support and sustain a healthy population of fish.

Boundary Ditch
The ditch does not seem to mark any modern administrative boundary, but it was an urban district boundary on older maps, Enfield to the north and probably Edmonton to the south.

Edmonton: Boundary Ditch sculptural arches
These arches at the entrance to the path alongside Boundary Ditch off the Hertford Road were created by the artist Jan Rosser in collaboration with young people from St Matthew's Primary School and Galliards Primary School in Enfield, and were inspired by the brook's natural environment and wildlife.

Ponders End: St Matthew's Church of England Primary School
The School is in South Street next to
Image, and is one of the 147 Church of England schools supported by the London Diocesan Board for Schools. According to the white tablet in the front gable end the school was originally built as a National Infant School in MDCCCXC or 1890, some twelve years after the church. The Christian church motif of the cross is also replicated in the other gable end.
