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.
