The lower end of the new course of the stream. The old course exits from the grated conduit, which will have flow during flood periods and may also have some connected surface water drains.

Ford on the new course, allowing vehicle access to the old course for maintenance purposes. The notice states that the public are not allowed to use the ford! The construction of the ford is unusual, being created from coarse stones allowing the water to percolate through.

Part of the new course showing the stone bed and some of the developing vegetation. The bright green plant is watercress, which would be native to a stream like this, but has probably been planted rather than self-seeded.
