Denham: Willowbank Village
Willowbank Village started off in the 1920s as a collection of small holiday chalets on an island between the River Colne and the Grand Union Canal for Londoners wanting to enjoy the countryside. A few of the original chalets remain today, but most have been demolished and replaced by much larger permanently occupied homes. This is the village green at the centre with Willow Crescent West to the left and Willow Crescent East to the right. Although the village is part of Denham from a local government area point of view, it is much closer to the built-up area of Uxbridge than Denham.

Water Mill on the Colne at Uxbridge
A mid 18C mill on one of the complex of channels which form the lower Colne.
The millstream leaves the main river just by the A40 bridge in the square to the north while the rest of river goes on to join the Grand Union Canal above Uxbridge Lock.
So it's same head of water operating the mill as is going through the lock although the two structures are some way apart. The streams rejoin just downstream of the bridge where I'm standing.

Uxbridge Lock
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 Oxford Road. The lock keeper's cottage is on the right. 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.
