River Lee in Ponders End
Image: © Nigel Cox Taken: 6 Oct 2010
This is one of the remnant reaches of the old River Lee (or Lea) in this area that was not canalised when the Lee Navigation was built. It is in fact the original bypass channel around the flour mill, but today the mill channel is disused and this is the main route. The black bird in the disturbed water in the mid-distance is a cormorant. This view was taken from the Wharf Road bridge.
