The footbridge gives access to the towpath along the 4.9 mile Slough Arm, which goes off to the right at this point.

The 4.9 mile Slough Arm runs, with long straight stretches, from the main line at Cowley Peachey Junction, to a dead-end terminal basin at Slough. It is not high on the list of Britain's prettiest canals.

West Drayton was once a railway junction with lines north to Cowley and Uxbridge and south to Colnbrook and Staines, and the Grade II listed Railway Arms dates from that heyday. This view was taken from the eastern end of Colham Mill Road while the white sign on the post on the pavement outside the pub shows the point at which the main road name changes from Station Road on the right to the High Street on the left.
