Rockingham Wharf
The canal-side building is a very considerable architectural advance on the other industrial buildings on this site. Although mapped as Rockingham Wharf, the lifebelt on the far wall appears to have 'Popes Quay' on it.

The Grand Union Canal near Uxbridge
This section of the Grand Union Canal from the River Thames at Brentford was opened in 1794. It was the first section of what was originally called the Grand Junction Canal. Its purpose was to provide a new, shorter and quicker transport route between London and Birmingham by connecting with a network of canals at Braunston near Daventry. When the canal reached Braunston in 1805 it cut 60 miles off the shortest alternative route.
This is just north of St John's Road. As you head out of Uxbridge there is much quiet countryside until Rickmansworth is reached. This part of the towpath is also on the London LOOP.

Spillway from canal to River Colne in Uxbridge
There are several waterways running down the wide valley which was the course of The Thames before the last ice age. The Grand Union Canal cuts across them in several places. Here water is taken from the canal to feed a branch of the Colne.
