River Gade and the A4146 road bridge at Water End

Viewed looking northwards and upstream. The bridge is a Grade II Listed Structure and the Historic England website describes it thus:- "Circa 1800 when road realigned, widened on E side (not the side in this photograph) 1976 by Herts County Council. Red brick in English-bond with stone dressings. A humped bridge in medieval style of 3 pointed arches each of 20ft span with 4 stone-capped cutwaters linked by a moulded string course. Deep-chamfered brick rib to soffit a little inside front arch. Chamfered stone dressing to plinths from which arches spring, linked by weir under bridge and marking water level on reconstructed upstream face. Moulded stone cappings to brick parapets splayed at ends and terminated by octagonal brick piers."

Wood Farm

Wood Farm enjoys a lofty position high above the valley. However, behind the photographer's position, is one of the large Housing Estate's which make up Hemel Hempstead.

The river flows through reed beds and past a large house. The river's flow is much greater here than after it has passed through the ponds and water treatment works half a mile downstream.
