The seam in the road surface indicates that this is still a boundary - between Hillingdon on the left and Three Rivers district of Hertfordshire.

Stockers Farm Road Pumping Station
Stockers Lock
Stockers House. Martin Nail lists this as Post 218 but we will show it more in geographical sequence.
The building just left of centre is Stockers House.
A collection of old tools on display beside the lock plus an old sign with the stern warning
the towing path is private property … there is no public right of way. In fact most canal towpaths are not rights of way but "
permissive paths".

Posts 74 and 75 both probably lost forever during the building of the M25 which can be seen in the background of this image. The Wraysbury (or Wyrardisbury) River may well have been moved by a few yards.
Similarly
Post 149 probably disappeared during the building of the M25. Compare with
Posts 80 and 81 which appear to have been relocated during the building of the Wraysbury (or Wyrardisbury) Reservoir
Poyle
Post 76
The Nail list gives a description of
TQ 037 770 on S bank of stream at NE corner of grounds of Poyle County Infants School.
It is probably the same school which is now called Pippins Primary School. A better grid ref for the post is probably
TQ 0360 7692 and the post may be visible from Pippins Park accessed off Raymond Close

Has been repositioned some time in the last nine years
Post 119
In the wood about 100 yards south of Post 119. The water tower of the former West Park Mental Hospital. As in other former hospitals, the tower will probably be retained as part of the redevelopment for housing

Post 149
Martin Nail describes this as Margery Grove. Either the roads were renamed at the time the M25 was built or, more likely, Martin Nail got it wrong. Post 149 was possibly right where the motorway now is.
