More about this scene
One of the best-recognised beauty spots in Rickmansworth, the Splash (the town ditch), which is being crossed by the Austin A40, had originally been part of the drive to Bury Manor House, whose gates can be seen in the far distance. By the late 1700s, it was in general use by the public. In the 1960s, icy conditions made the road dangerous to motors, and in August 1963 the road was covered over and a culvert was built.
