New River Loop, Enfield
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 26 Jul 2010
A section of the New River beside Parsonage Drive. Construction began in the 17th century to provide a source of water for the eastern sections of London. The New River begins between Ware and Hertford and carefully follows the contours of the land to maintain a steady fall on its way to its current terminus in Stoke Newington. Some sections of the New River have become redundant and the Loop in Enfield is one of these. However, Enfield council maintain it as a civic amenity.
