Hen Brook

This was such a peaceful view that I just had to take a photo to remember it by, and years later I’m very glad I did.

Image 102 – What’s in an image? Sometimes quite a lot, more than meets the eye. I’m posting an image every day or so.

Larger view

Hen Brook is a very small tributary stream that flows into the River Great Ouse in St Neots, Cambridgshire. We lived in St Neots for years before moving to Cirencester in 2017.

Walking just 100 metres or so from this point, Hen Brook really is tiny, but the final stretch before it enters the river was widened and deepened so that barges could reach the point in the town where much of the industry was in Victorian times. Today it remains navigable, as does the river itself. There’s an area for private boats around this area, and a yacht marina further downstream on the river itself. This was such a peaceful view that I just had to take a photo to remember it by, and years later I’m very glad I did. I hope you will like the composition as much as I do.

When: Summer 2010 (ish)
Where: St Neots, Cambridgeshire
