Hallwick Gate, Cunard Crescent
The blue plaque on the gate post says that this was formerly Bush Hill House, home of Sir Hugh Myddelton from 1609 to 1613. He was the Engineer of the New River, which passes under Bush Hill Road a few metres behind the photographer.

The New River seen from Bush Hill Road
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. On the other side of Bush Hill Road though there is no path and similarly a short distance ahead the New River Path follows Bush Hill rather than the waterside. This view looks downriver.
