Walsworth: The Sailor
Building renovation works give the opportunity to fly the flag (or two in this case). Why the Sailor? Well, I read somewhere that at one time the River Ivel Navigation was to be extended to include the Rivers Hiz and Purwell, the latter of which is on the opposite side of the road to the pub.

Bridge over the River Purwell
This bridge appears to be for maintenance of the Walsworth Common playing fields, and is used at present for plant working on the construction of a children's playground. Th driver is waiting for a colleague to come and unlock the barrier.

In the foreground is Meadowbank - Walsworth Common is behind the first line of trees. The creamish partially obscured building in the centre is the Sailor Boy Public House. Out of the picture in the distance on the left is the rail line to Cambridge.

Bridge over River Purwell into Walsworth Common.
A busy place in the summer and at weekends. Ducks are fed, Water voles live in the banks of the river. This area is surrounded by housing but this spot is really rather nicer.
