Survey of the Brook of Water, running across the
Kings Highway near Forty Hill in the parish
of Enfield in the County of Middlesex .

There is a Timber Bridge supported with
Brickwork built on the said Brook wide enough
for the passing of one Carriage; & which Bridge doth
not appear to abstruct the Water Course; or to make
the Water so deep, & dangerous for His Majesty's
Subjects passing with thin Horses Carts & Carriages
that Way

That the Water collecting in the said Road
is occasiond by the Current being impreded in the Water
Course of the passing under the said Bridge; the bottom
of which in many parts, is higher than that under the
Bridge ; which obstruction shoud first be removed;
the bottom made with a regular fall, & the Sides
bank'd up; it will Ipresume, then appear unnecessary
to make any alternation to the said Bridge or of widening
the said Water Course

It wond render the Approach to the Bridge
more Conspicuous & Commandcosis of the past & Rail
was widend at the Extremes, desiding the Road there
into two equal parts, one and conducting at low Water thro'
the Brook and the other at high Water over the Bridge
& the Entrance to that Road thick conducts this the
Brook to be enclos'd with a Gate at the time of high
Water
