Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Essex Wharf, E5. British Waterways are dredging the Lee Navigation , using this planning application site for offloading the sludge from barges into Scania tippers working for Clwyd Transport of Wrexham (!) who have been very active in East London for the past few years. This is ostensibly to improve water quality. However, it is known that a lot of house extensions in the Stamford Hill area have non-standard methods of disposal of foul waste into storm water drains. Therefore it seems the symptoms are being treated, not the cause.

Where the excavators are working may be seen rail lines in the cobbles, the end of a branch from the former GER main line at Temple Mills which served the Metropolitan Water Works on the Essex bank behind the "Red House" behind the bridge.

The old dock is actually in the Borough of Waltham Forest, which has just refused planning permission for a very large development on this site, but the developers will be back as sure as night follows day.

Behind the former warehouse, to have been demolished in the plans, the Lea Valley Ice Rink. (warehouse demolished in Nov 2009)
