Swimming In The River Chess

A Memory of Rickmansworth.

Growing up in the Queens drive, Bury lane estate.
we would all gather as children and walk down chorleywood lane and toward the common, ending up at the Chorleywood road then crossing over into Solesbridge lane.

The long walk would eventually bring us to a walk through the woods to the river chess, I remember having to cross a little bridge.
We would play all day in the river and I remember a deepish gully running through the river and we could actually swim, wonderful memories with all my friends and cousins on those heady summer days, a wonderful childhood was had by all of us.
