The New River is neither new (having been built at the beginning of the 17th C) nor a river (it's an aqueduct supplying water to London, taken from the River Lea near Hertford and from Chadwell Spring, Amwell Spring, and other springs and wells along its course). For further info, see the Wiki entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_River_(England) . To the north, the aqueduct is in a cutting - see Image From here, it runs southwards in a 700 yard long tunnel to south of Park Avenue, N22 (near Alexandra Palace railway station) - see Image The tunnel portal is Grade II listed http://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1079221 .
