17. HARROW WEALD COMMON, STANMORE HEATH, ELSTREE 

 RESERVOIR. 



Stanmore Heath, three miles from the village of Edgeware, is five 

 hundred feet high ; elevated on the north, west and south ; with a fall on 

 these slopes to a depression on its eastern edge, where there is a large pond 

 fed by the converging lines of drainage. This pond is in private grounds, 

 aud connected with a larger one near Elstree, known as Elstree reservoir. 

 The road to Watford skirts the western borders of the heath, and divides 

 it from the grounds of Bentley Priory ; due west, and distant a mile or so, 

 is Harrow Weald Common ; on the same line of elevation, north and west 

 of the Priory. The Heath is turfy and furze-grown, except on the lines of 

 drainage, which are open and marshy ; subsoil gravelly, and pitted near 

 the village with shallow excavations, usually full of water. At the 

 southern extremity is a grass plot. The Common is a narrow strip of wet 

 gravelly waste, about three-quarters of a mile long, with an outlying copse 

 or two in the directiou of Pinner ; it slopes to the north-west ; without 

 turf and of a less furzy character than the Heath, than which it is a trifle 

 less elevated.
