TQ2670 : Northern confluence of River Wandle & Pickle Ditch

taken 6 years ago, near to Merton, England

Northern confluence of River Wandle & Pickle Ditch
Northern confluence of River Wandle & Pickle Ditch
The wider watercourse in the foreground is the Wandle and the narrower stream the Pickle Ditch (or just Pickle). The latter follows the previous course of the Wandle whose present course it rejoins just upstream of what is now the Merton Abbey Mills craft village. It seems that the Wandle was so diverted in the C18 to power the various mills that had been established in the area.
