Immediately upstream of Nuns Bridges, Thetford, the river was widened to form Thetford swimming pool, which remained in use until the 1970s when an indoor pool was built. The steps and rail of the pool are still visible. Immediately upstream of the swimming pool, the river runs through Nunnery Lakes Reserve, a bird reserve owned and operated by the British Trust for Ornithology, whose headquarters are in the adjacent Nunnery buildings.

Famous quotes containing the words points of, points and/or interest:
“Sometimes apparent resemblances of character will bring two men together and for a certain time unite them. But their mistake gradually becomes evident, and they are astonished to find themselves not only far apart, but even repelled, in some sort, at all their points of contact.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
“The men who carry their points do not need to inquire of their constituents what they should say, but are themselves the country which they represent: nowhere are its emotions or opinions so instant and so true as in them; nowhere so pure from a selfish infusion.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Women hock their jewels and their husbands’ insurance policies to acquire an unaccustomed shade in hair or crêpe de chine. Why then is it that when anyone commits anything novel in the arts he should be always greeted by this same peevish howl of pain and surprise? One is led to suspect that the interest people show in these much talked of commodities, painting, music, and writing, cannot be very deep or very genuine when they so wince under an unexpected impact.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
