A41 bottleneck, Hunton Bridge
A few hundred yards of this important trunk route remain a single carriageway between Hunton Bridge and the M25 roundabout. A classic case of lack of joined-up planning. The petrol station in the distance was remarkably cheap by local standards!

Grand Union Canal: M25 Motorway spur bridge
This totally functional concrete bridge, which is devoid of any architectural merit whatsoever, carries the M25 Motorway spur road over the canal and to and from the Hunton Bridge roundabout.

Grand Union Canal: Silted up bay
The towpath side of the canal makes a large semi-circular bay just to the north of Image The bay appears to have silted up over time and although boat-users would probably pass it by without realising its presence, it makes a large deviation away from the canal for towpath walkers and cyclists. It appears to be too large for a canal narrowboat turning bay, so what was its purpose?
The only clue comes from the older editions of the large scale Ordnance Survey mapping. The 1883 version shows a rectangular building described as a mill (plus some other but indecipherable words), in the centre of the bay. Later editions refer to the building, which has long since been demolished, as a pumping house.
On the first day of the new decade the shadow of the motorway embankment above it had prevented any sun from reaching most of it and the water and reeds remain resolutely frozen hard.
