Reed Bed, Crane Park Island
Shown as open water on the map, the middle of Crane Park Island is now more of a marsh. It was probably an old millpond at one time.
Some of the reeds have been cut, maybe as habitat enhancement? The island is a nature reserve.

The Mill Stream, Crane Park
This is the channel that once took the River Crane to the wheels of the old gunpowder mills which operated here until 1927. http://www.oldindustry.org/ShotTowers/local_history_river_crane.pdf
The wheels are long gone, but the sluices are still visible. The millstream is now silted and overgrown as you see, but is no doubt a very good habitat. It's part of Crane Park Island nature reserve.
Most of the river flow now goes down the channel to the south of the island.

Former mill pond, Hounslow Powder Mills site
With level much reduced, the large pond is now a marsh with channels leading to an old sluice (the viewpoint) and, out of sight to the left, to a former mill race.

Crane Park at the powder mills site
This is a channel in the bed of an old mill pond, just upstream of where one of the lower powder mills was. The Hounslow Powder Mills had a complex layout of mills and associated waterways. This was a large pond once, but has become silted and overgrown.

Old mill race, Hounslow Powder Mills site
Viewed from upstream, from a position that was probably under water when the mill pond was in operational condition. This is by interpretative station 3, according to a nearby post, but a corresponding on-line description does not seem to exist.
