Footbridge and Ford over River Beane. "River" is a bit of a grand description for what is little more than a trickle at this point (although other images for this square and the one to the north suggest that it can get pretty wet down here).

Pumping station on River Beane. For some reason this trickle known as the River (river?) Beane has a cluster of pumping stations near this spot. The neighbour is Whitehall Pumping Station Number 1. So this must be number 2 then.

Bragbury End: Bragbury Lane railway bridge This fine skewed bridge dates from the very end of the main railway building era and was built by the Great Northern Railway on their Enfield and Stevenage Loop Line. It is present on the Ordnance Survey map of 1923 but not on the edition of 1899, which gives some clue as to when the railway was built.
