Branch of River Crane
The river splits around a long island over this stretch. The island is on the right. This seems to be connected with a former snuff mill that used this river branch, the other branch being the mill bypass.

Footbridge on the London Loop
The London Loop path goes alongside the River Crane for most of the length between Hayes and Whitton. This is on the edge of Hounslow Heath where it crosses a drainage channel entering the Crane.

Parasol Mushrooms by the London Loop
The appropriately named Parasol Mushroom, Macrolepiota procera, is a reasonably common variety of edible fungus. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrolepiota_procera
These are growing beside the London Loop path as it goes beside the River Crane on the edge of Hounslow Heath.

Site of former snuff mill, River Crane
Looking upstream on the western branch of the river. The eastern branch, the natural course, bypasses the mill site via weirs. Above the mill there was formerly a substantial mill pond. The leat for the upper set of mills at Hounslow Powder Mills was tapped off it.

Bridge over former Hounslow Powder Mills leat
The leat is of some length, a consequence of the modest fall of the River Crane over this stretch. The track is used by the London Loop long distance path.
