River Ash near Gravesend

Gravesend, Hertfordshire, that is! Viewed looking northwards and upstream, the river channel is dry for most of the year, water only being present when groundwater reaches the surface in the winter, or in flash floods.

Albury

The finest village football pitch complete with dugouts for the management, railings to keep the spectators in order, and there is a pavilion, not in the photo, too. The tower of the 13th Century Church of St. Mary The Virgin is visible above the trees. The very informative and active village website can be found here Link
