Water Tower, near Uxbridge Common
The road is Water Tower Close. Driving along the A40 I had always thought this was a church tower until I cycled up to it to have a look.

Water tower north of Uxbridge Common
Built in 1906 by the Rickmansworth & Uxbridge Valley Water Company to improve the town's water supply, this has now been converted into flats. Its high location also makes it an ideal site for aerials and mobile phone receivers/transmitters.

This entrance is just by the Uxbridge Cricket Club ground. The path leads to a footbridge over the A40, then on into Ickenham. There is a cycle track immediately outside the gate, the yellow signs warns about it.

Uxbridge Common
Uxbridge Common is typical of the traditional village common in its layout and includes a pond, a network of ditches and tree planting around the edges, as seen here alongside North Common Road. The pond in the north-west corner is home to Great-Crested Newts - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5673638
The Common is a fragment of remnant heath, meaning a small area of heathland remaining after the main part, which historically would have covered the surrounding area, no longer exists. There is a larger area on current Ordnance Maps marked as Uxbridge Common to the east, bounded by Park Road, the Metropolitan line and the A40. This can also be seen on Ordnance Maps from the turn of the 20th century, although at that time neither the railway nor the A40 existed here - see http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15&lat=51.5533&lon=-0.4743&layers=B000000000TFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
