Taken looking upstream from Highbridge Street. Waltham Abbey is notable for the number of watercourses flowing through it, all connected by man or nature to the original River Lea (or Lee). Others include the Horsemill Stream, Cornmill Stream and River Lee Navigation. The main road to the left is Abbeyview which by-passes the town centre.
