River Wandle at Carshalton
The Wandle has in its time been a heavily industrialised river, and, running through urban areas for much of its course, now retains little of the pristine beauty it had when Shelley walked its banks. But there do remain some pleasant stretches, as here beside River Gardens in Carshalton.

Looking across river to Wilderness Island
The opposite bank was once an artificial island between the two branches of the Wandle, with several large ponds, originally dug as carp ponds. It is now a nature reserve.

The River Wandle, looking towards Wilderness Island, Mill Lane is to the left.
The river is usually less dry, the winter had an effect on the water table though.

River Wandle above former mill
This is where the river branch from the Carshalton direction joins the branch from the Croydon direction. The former is in the foreground, looking downstream. The other is round to the right. The combined flow then passes via two routes under the mill site ahead which is now given over to other industry. One of the routes passes through the grill and sluice ahead.
