Footbridge over Limehouse Cut
Should you decide to walk along the towpath of Limehouse Cut, starting from Limehouse Basin, you will first pass under two footbridges, of which this is the second. It lies at an interesting point, for as can be seen, Limehouse Cut has a bend in it here: until 1962, just beyond the footbridge, the Cut continued to the right, down a lock into the Thames. But in that year, the new link to Limehouse Basin (previously known as Regents Canal dock) was made and the exit to the Thames filled in. After that, boats for the Thames had to go via Limehouse Basin. Interestingly in Victorian times, Limehouse Cut had been linked to Regents Canal Dock, by a cut almost exactly where the 1962 cut was made! The link was thus filled in around 1862, and effectively re-opened 100 years later.

A junction of watery walks
At the sharp corner that now takes the Limehouse Cut into the Regents Canal Dock alias Limehouse Basin. Formerly this cut connected directly via a lock to the Thames, routing to the right of the view. Before this again, there was a connection to the basin, but it was later eliminated.

Limehouse Cut
An eastbound DLR train crosses the canal having just left Limehouse station. Hereabouts the DLR follows the course of the former London & Blackwall Railway which ran from Fenchurch Street to Blackwall and closed to passengers in 1926.
