Narrowboat Jessica on the River Lee Navigation near Enfield Lock
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. This is one of those cuts and hence it is a navigation rather than a river. The Lea passes just the other side of these workers' cottages. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee.
Beyond the River Lea is the new development of Enfield Island Village on the site of the former Royal Arms Factory which was given its formal title in 1854 and manufactured the famous Lee Enfield rifle which linked the two names associated with the spot. The towpath here runs alongside South Ordnance Road which is just down the bank on the left.
