This bridge on the Regent's canal in Mile End is named after the nearby Gunmakers Arms and Gunmakers Wharf; the London Small Arms Factory was situated nearby and produced components for several famous military rifles including the Short Magazine Lee-Enfield which was used during the 1914-1918 war. The Regent's Canal was used to transport the components to Enfield.
