Great Cambridge Road, Turnford

I didn't realise the Great Cambridge Road split in Cheshunt, as this is the name of it from Tottenham onwards, but no longer follows the newer section of the A10 but remained with the original part.

Railway Pit

One of the pits - now ponds - on Turnford Marsh to the west of the Lee Navigation and the River Lea. The name Railway Pit perhaps gives a clue as to the use of the sand and gravel extracted from this former quarry pit.

Kiora Radial Gates, Nazeing Marsh

The New River, Broxbourne

The New River is something of a misnomer since it is neither a river nor new. It is an aqueduct built under the direction of Sir Hugh Myddleton between 1607 and 1612 to bring fresh drinking water from Chadwell and Amwell Springs near Ware about 40 miles down the Lee Valley to London. Link
