The London/Essex border - Dennises Lane

Boundary London/Essex/Havering
The boundary goes westwards some way south but parallel to Nightingale Lane, with a slight kink a third of the way along. When it reaches the boundary of Nightingale’s Nest, at a point which would be a continuation of Stubbers Lane to the north, it turns south and skirts two ponds to the west of them, passes the end of a path from Green Lane and follows another path continuing south. It passes water to the east and crosses another path, passes water on the west and at a boundary north of Cockhide turns sharp east and after a distance turns sharp south again.
