The New River in Enfield
The New River was completed between 1609 and its official opening on 29th September 1613. It was designed to bring clean water to London at a time when the heavily-polluted River Thames was the main source of drinking water. Sir Hugh Myddleton devised a 40 mile course that followed the contours of the land and only dropped about two inches every mile. It ran from springs near Ware in Hertfordshire to New River Head near the Angel, Islington but now finishes at Stoke Newington.
The New River remains an essential part of London’s water supply. The part to the south of Stoke Newington, where it survives, is more like a linear pond, but from Green Lanes upriver the water still flows as it has done for over 400 years. Much of it is followed by the New River Path as here. Behind where I am standing though, there is no path and the New River Path heads up to Parsonage Lane rather than following the waterside. This view looks downriver.

Backs of Houses in Riverside Gardens, Enfield abutting New River (Enfield Loop)
The horseshoe-shaped Enfield Loop used to form the part of the New River aqueduct that passed through Enfield Town. However in around 1900 the Loop was bypassed with the laying of three cast iron pipes to carry the waters of the New River between Southbury Road and Bush Hill. The redundant watercourse has recently been restored as can be seen in this shot taken from Parsonage Gardens.
