I’m not sure who’s forgotten my school was next to the Roding Nature reserve, and parkland area. There are several villages at its head. High Roding, White Roding, Leaden Roding, Abbess Roding, and Margaret Roding. I believe a Saxon tribe called the Rodingas settled there. There are a couple of sewage facilities upstream that look to have a habit a habit of releasing raw effluent. Finally I noticed a few months back that someone was about to excavate a Roman villa next to the river, I’m guessing it is likely to meander into the site. It would be interesting to track the old Mediaeval road that passed by from Newmarket to Mile End, there are marooned pubs that I think may have lined it.
