River Gardens Weir
On the upper part of the Duke of Northumberland's River, which discharges into the River Crane. The Environment Agency plate on the compound gives their reference as 36DH0101/WE01, and the NG reference as TQ1092374605. This great precision seems to accurately refer to a point somewhere in the middle of the weir.

Duke of Northumberland's River
A man made water course dating from Tudor times, the river is in two sections with opposite functions.
The upper part brings water from the River Colne to augment the River Crane.
Until the early 20th century the Crane was quite industrialized, with water mills needing a greater flow than the river could provide on its own.
The Duke's river provided this top up.
The lower section does the reverse and diverts part of the Crane away from the natural course to a confluence further down the Thames.

Remains of a Mill
In the woods beside the River Crane are a few remains of a former gunpowder mill.
There is not much in the way of masonry left, but very obvious on the site are the old blast mounds, big heaps of earth and stones to act as a shield in case of explosions, which apparently were all too frequent. http://www.oldindustry.org/ShotTowers/local_history_river_crane.pdf

River Crane in Donkey Wood
Following the London Loop northwards beyond Baber Bridge can be a little confusing. It is easy to follow the Duke of Northumberland's River westwards, and to confuse matters even more, the Crane splits into two. This is the western channel which leaves the main River Crane for about 300 metres.
