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.
