Three houses, all different in size and arrangement, with areas and basements. Some way behind was a wharf area (now filled in) on the Grand Union Canal - it may be that these were associated.

Fishing on the canal
Is it me or have herons become bolder in the last few years. A decade ago this one would have flown away long before our boat drew parallel with it. This one just stayed on the bank and let us pass. As can be seen, this is a very urban area anyway for a heron to be waiting to catch its next meal.
