Rom valley images

Possibly the shortest "river" in England,it doesn't even have a source,simply a brook which is renamed upon entering the Borough,the River Rom,graces a lost part of Essex.No wide estuaric vistas,no valley parks for this baby.No footpaths dedicated to enriching city dwellers environments.Rather,backditches,tunnels,concreted channels and forgotten glories.Here we glean what niceities we can from an inner city watercourse.Rather than start another new gallery,I've decided to include the Bourne Water within this gallery,as the one could not be without the other.
