Swans on the River Lea
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 River Lee Navigation just west of here is one of those cuts and hence it is a navigation rather than a river.
This though is the River Lea which unlike the Lee Navigation is not accessible here. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee. Just ahead on the left, part of the River Lea flows into the huge King George's Reservoir - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5357435
