The Town Ditch, Bury Lane, Rickmansworth

Originally created as the main course of a field drainage system the Town Ditch outfalls from the River Chess to the east of Rickmansworth before joining the River Colne to the west. Bury Lane was once the drive to The Bury before becoming a public road. It crossed the Town Ditch by a ford 'The Splash' which was photographed by Francis Frith before being bridged over in 1963.
