Grand Union Canal in Bourne End
Viewed from the Sharpes Lane bridge, the canal is comparatively wide along this reach. Horses are grazing in the field to the right which is markedly lower than the water level in the canal.

J W Ward & Son Ltd, Sawmill, Bourne End, steam engine
A secondhand Davey, Paxman Lentz type horizontal tandem compound engine. This was built in 1926 and designed for 250 brake horsepower. It was still workable in 1980 but was removed for private preservation in 1982. I later saw it in the open in bits at a factory on Plumstead Marshes but it was subsequently scrapped. There is one other in the UK but that is also dismantled and in store in Somerset.

River Bulbourne in Bourne End
The Grand Union Canal was built along the valley of the River Bulbourne from Hemel Hempstead to Tring, paralleling it for much of the way. This is the shallow and clear Bulbourne photographed a couple of metres off the canal towpath which is to the right.

Pix Farm from the canal
At a rough guess I'd say these paddocks are prone to flooding.
