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.

Tunnel under DWR embankment
A tunnel under the embankment that once carried the branch line from the Chiltern line near Denham to Uxbridge High Street Station. The line closed to passengers in 1936 and lingered on until full closure in 1964. The intention was to link the line to Uxbridge Vine Street Station and on to West Drayton and a viaduct over the High Street was partially built. But this never happened and both branch lines have been completely removed.

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.
