The Limehouse Cut from Bow Common Lane
The Limehouse Cut was built in 1770 to connect the River Lea to the Thames and so shorten the journey for vessels travelling from the River Lea to the Pool of London. It did this by cutting out several loops of the lower Lea and the Thames. In the 19th century it was so polluted that "no bargee who fell in had any chance of surviving his ducking in the filthy water".
The Limehouse Cut was closed to pedestrians for many years but the towpath has been opened up in the last few years so that it is now possible to walk from Limehouse Basin to Three Mills via the new bridge under the Blackwall Tunnel approach road.
