The Anonymous Widower

Along the Bow Back Rivers

I crossed Stratford High Street and then found my way to Pudding Mill Lane station on the DLR.  I passed across and along one of the Bow Back Rivers, originally created to channel water power from the River Lee to the flour mills in the area.

At present access is restricted to many of these rivers because of construction of both the Olympic Park and CrossRail. But they will become a major water feature of the Olympics. The City Mill River and the City Mill Lock have recently been restored.
