Storage Warehouse by the Blackwater
Now upstream of the generous input from Aldershot Sewage Works and much depleted as a result, the diminutive River Blackwater goes past here in a concrete trough of weeds after culverting under the busy A323.
Welcome to Surrey
The River Blackwater is used as a county border for its whole length, firstly between Hampshire and Surrey and later between Hampshire and Berkshire. Here is where it goes under the A323 as that road crosses into Surrey county.
Weeds & Warehouses, River Blackwater
The Blackwater is not at its best through here as it enters a culvert under the A323.
Footpath Junction, Spoil Lane
A more than usual number of footpaths and bridleways are shown on the map just here.
Some, like Spoil Lane, are residential lanes already, one is along an old railway, while others will vanish as footpaths when they are incorporated into urban streets as more houses are built.
Bridge over the Blackwater
This leads to an underpass beneath the A331 and is blocked by bollards at the far end. I would guess it's for emergency vehicles only.
A small electricity sub station is on the left.

Mending a telegraph pole in Church Lane East
The very first lines that were hung from poles were telegraph wires. Places was connected to the network with just one or two lines – very few poles were needed. With the invention of the telephone, this all changed. At first, rival companies did not want to share their poles with one another. Inevitably, legislation was passed to compel it.
Most telegraph poles are about 30ft above the ground with 6 feet planted in the ground.They are tested by a B.T. Openreach operative after they have been “planted” for twelve years and then at ten yearly intervals. Telegraph poles are still plentiful in the UK and Ireland although they have been completely eradicated in Holland.
They also have their own web site Link
Approaching a roundabout in Church Lane East
You know that word association game: black-white; Morecambe-Wise; Milton Keynes-roundabouts. A friend of mine supervises Geography dissertations for the University of Portsmouth. He always gives students two actual titles he has rejected: 'Rivers' (too broad) and 'The Roundabouts of Basingstoke' (too narrow)) But where did the idea for an "island", around which traffic could flow, come from? It was a Frenchman. In 1791 the architect and engineer Pierre L'Enfant proposed a number of circular intersections in Washington, D.C. Fast forward to 1905 and we have New York City's Columbus Circle, widely considered the country's first circular intersection designed for the automotive era. Known as rotaries, they certainly sped up traffic- but also the number of collisions . Then in 1966 the UK came up with a marvellous idea: this required vehicles entering a circular intersection to yield to those already on it. As to the two countries that started them, France has the highest roundabout ratio with one roundabout for every 45 intersections and the US one roundabout for every 1,118 intersections.
