The New River
Image: © Martin Addison Taken: 20 Jan 2012
Seen from Green Lanes as it winds between back gardens and industrial buildings. The New River was constructed in the early 17th century to provide water for London and remains an important part of London's water supply to the present day. It carefully follows the contours of the land and is clearly on a slight embankment here close to Palmers Green.
