Mutton Brook eventually merges with Dollis Brook to form the River Brent. It is seen here looking upstream towards the A1 Falloden Way bridge. The sign is a London Borough of Barnet one stating "Polluted Water - Keep Out". The cause of the pollution is not stated, but since this is downstream of a main road speculatively there may be, or may have been at some time in the past, some oil-based pollution that the usual surface water drain arrangements are, or were, not intercepting correctly. The co-ordinates of the subject and photographer positions are taken from the Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale mapping because the 1:50,000 scale mapping is cartographically badly distorted by the need to represent the A1 much wider than it actually is.

Mutton Brook eventually merges with Dollis Brook to form the River Brent. It is seen here looking downstream from the Brookland Rise bridge, where a large tree has fallen across it and has the potential to create a flood situation. If debris brought downstream from elsewhere in a heavy flow event accumulates against the branches in the brook it could eventually block the brook and force the water to flow out of bank.

A gate in the fence presumably to allow council workmen in to trim the vegetation along Mutton Brook, which is hidden in the dip beyond. A footpath runs alongside the graffiti painted wall, linking Gloucester Drive with Brooklands Rise. The houses are on Connaught Drive.
