Summary[edit]

| Description |
English: Limehouse Cut (2) The Limehouse Cut was built to provide a navigable short-cut from the River Thames at Limehouse Basin north-east to the River Lee Navigation at Bromley-by-Bow, thus avoiding the long meandering curves of the lower reaches of the River Lee at Bow Creek, and the long bend in the River Thames around the Isle of Dogs. It was authorised by the River Lee Act of 1766, and completed in 1770 so it is effectively the oldest canal in London. This view was taken from under the Morris Road bridge looking in the direction of Bromley-by-Bow.
The blue bridge in the distance carries the Docklands Light Railway over the cut. The towpath on the right forms a section of the Lea Valley Walk. It is also shown on the Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale maps as a series of solid light brown circles, indicating an off road cycle route. |
