River Lee Navigation at Brimsdown
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 a little further to the east here, beyond King George's Reservoir. Historically the river is spelled Lea while the navigation is Lee.
Out of sight to the right in this photograph is the embankment of King George's Reservoir. The excavation and building of the surrounding embankment of the reservoir, nearly five miles in length, was carried out almost entirely by a manual labour force of 1,000 navvies, and the surplus excavated clay was spread over part of Hackney Marsh. In 1913 King George Vth and Queen Mary named the reservoir and pressed the buttons allowing water from the River Lea to start flowing into the storage bowl.
Millmarsh Lane on the industrial estate at Brimsdown is on the other side of the River Lee Navigation here.
