Tophill Low Nature Reserve "D" Reservoir Tophill Low water treatment works and nature reserve has two reservoirs known as the 'D' and 'O' reservoirs after their shape.  As well as being magnets for wildlife they are also major navigation way marks for small aircraft.  The only way to see the water is from the viewing hides.

Bethells Bridge at Sunrise Taken at 5:12am, just as the sun was rising. There are now many boats moored at Bethells Bridge, but before 1960 it was just another bit of weedy bank. The photograph was taken from the bridge, facing away from the bridge keepers house (Swing Bridge Cottage). The area is often called Hempholme, which is actually a set of farmsteads just under a mile down the lane.
