The Hertford Union Canal was opened in 1830 to connect the Regent's Canal with the Lee Navigation, and was originally known as Duckett's Canal after Sir George Duckett who financed its construction. It has three locks, all towards its eastern end. This photograph is taken from the towpath next to Victoria Park. The flats across the canal have their access from Old Ford Road. The boat is heading towards the Lee Navigation.
