Product Information

In 1766, work also began on the Limehouse Cut to connect the river, at Bromley-by-Bow, with the Thames at Limehouse Basin. This was part of a pre-Roman route that followed the modern Oxford Street, Old Street, through Bethnal Green to Old Ford and thence across a causeway through the marshes, known as Wanstead Slip (now in Leyton). The whole of the Lea was subsequently used as the boundary between English-ruled territory to the west and the Danelaw, established in the late 9th century, to the east. The lower Lea was at that time a wide, tidal and unchannelised river, so the construction of the bridge allowed a far greater degree of social and economic integration between Essex on one side, and Middlesex (including the City of London) on the other, than had been possible before.

After passing through Luton, the young river passes through the Luton Hoo estate and six miles from its source, enters Hertfordshire.The New River was constructed in 1613 to take clean water to London, from the Lea and its catchment areas in Hertfordshire and bypass the polluting industries that had developed in the Lea's downstream reaches. You can imagine this a perfect fit for a long drink on a spacecraft, watching meteorites pass by, as we are sure it will also work in a bus on headphones late at night, watching the rain rolling down the windows.

Dumping, litter and microplastics are a major problem on the Lea with much of this waste arriving in the river in sewage.

The spelling Lea predominates west (upstream) of Hertford, but both spellings ( Lea and Lee) are used from Hertford to the River Thames.El río Lea es un río situado en el norte de España, en la Cornisa Cantábrica, y que desemboca directamente en el mar Cantábrico, en la localidades vizcaínas de Lequeitio y Mendeja.

On the eastern side the river passes Waltham Abbey on the largely rural Essex bank, and then Chingford and Walthamstow in east London. The river's significance as a major east–west barrier and boundary has tended to obscure its importance as north–south trade route.There are significantly more crossings over the more central Lower Lea, than there are over the Middle Lea. The source is usually said to be at Well Head inside Waulud's Bank, a neolithic henge at Leagrave Common in Luton, Bedfordshire; though very close to that spot the river is fed by Houghton Brook, a stream that starts 2 miles (3km) further west in Houghton Regis. There are a number of theories about the identity of the Fair Lady, including the idea that it may refer to Matilda, [35] the builder of Bow Bridge and its neighbours, or that it may apply to the River Lea itself.
