West Hyde The lake is a former gravel pit in the valley of the River Colne, now flooded and used for recreational purposes, such as sailing, fishing, and wildlife observation. A look at the 1940s Ordnance Survey map shows the land in the valley is undisturbed, so the gravel pits must have been excavated after the Second World War.

Grand Union Canal in South Harefield. The vast and deserted expanse of the Widewater reach of the Grand Union Canal, downstream of 1109992, can be seen here. Taken on the last day of 2008, the canal had a layer of ice, about 5 millimetres thick, on its surface. In the very distance is the railway viaduct seen at closer quarters in 1110066.
