A branch of the River Lee Navigation
The original River Lea flowed 70 miles from Leagrove Marsh near Luton to the River Thames at Bow Creek. The River Lee Act of 1766 provided for the construction of 15 new cuts to straighten the course of the river by eliminating loops which made it difficult to navigate. The Lea passes a little further to the east here, beyond King George's Reservoir. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee.
This is a short branch of one of those cuts and it is seen here from Wharf Road. As the River Lee Navigation is a navigation rather than a river this is also a navigation although it looks more like a river here.
