Dist:0.8km east<br/>Viewed looking downstream from the Bailey Bridge on Cricketfield Road, the idyllic image of the river flowing gently past reeds and willows needs to be tempered by the fact that beyond the trees to the right is the final resting place of most of the old cars in West London!

Dist:0.9km east<br/>This bridge carries traffic from Cricketfield Road over the Colne to, amongst others, several car dismantling yards. Viewed looking upstream and northwards, the confluence of Fray's River with the River Colne is just beyond the bridge. The 1940's OS map shows a ford here.

Dist:0.9km northeast<br/>Viewed looking at the downstream exit from the former mill. Mill Road runs between the bridge parapet and the buildings. The preserved old mill wheel can be seen through railings from the pavement outside.

Dist:1.1km northwest<br/>Early afternoon in winter sunshine, looking north. The parish website http://www.iverparish.co.uk/ of St Peter's and St Leonard's, Iver, tells us: "St Leonard's is the small "daughter" church in Richings Park. It started life in 1840 as a little square community room for the estate workers of the Richings Park mansion. In order to become a proper place of worship for the community, it had a small chancel area added to it in 1874 and it was named Thorney Chapel. When the Richings Park estate of houses and the new Iver station were built in the 1920's, many more people came to the area. Thorney Chapel was doubled in length to its present size in 1931 and was renamed St Leonard's Church in 1942."
