  • A Friend of President
    HERITAGE President & Kildare on their first visit to Braunston Marina as a pair in April 1992, and looking shipshape and Bristol fashion. (Tim Coghlan) he year 1991 had been something of Science Museum grant. From next season President would have a spectacular year for President, with its ‘first lady,’ and together they would make a fine pair – giving the successful reenactment of a fly run the crew the challenge and fun of working a pair of boats from London to the first Braunston under steam. Boat Show – in which I was involved – being only one of its many appearances at various canal events, where this fine old narrow boat always seemed to steal Kildare the show. But there were mutterings afoot amongst the purists ildare’s own history was something of a survival story. - that President simply processed and posed around the canal She was built as a butty in 1913 at a cost of £130 by system. Some said it wasn’t even a real canal steamer. And KBraithwaite and Kirk in West Bromwich for carriers perhaps its greatest sin was that the boat never carried - which Fellows Morton & Clayton (FMC). Like President, the boat was with barely accommodation for steam coal and crew, would composite in its construction, with wrought iron sides and an have been impossible beyond token gestures like that Brindley elm bottom, the latter giving additional buoyancy in carrying statue. loads on the shallow canals. Whilst it may have been at times But things were quietly happening behind the scenes that paired with President, there is no surviving record of this, but would make President and its friends into something far better.

  • Looking Forward to the Next Ten Years
    Looking forward to the next ten years London Waterway Partnership Ten Year Strategic Plan 2014 1 Welcome I am delighted to present the London Waterway Partnership’s Strategic Plan. Preparation of the plan has taken a good deal of the Partnership’s early effort, but we have been much helped by the reception and comments arising from our draft document and the two consultation meetings held in December 2013. We are also grateful for the written comments received from the Heritage Lottery Fund; the Hillingdon Canal Partnership; London Boaters and Mark Walton, the River Lee Tidal Mill Trust and Westminster City Council. The document has been strengthened by the valuable points made by our respondents, particularly in emphasising the way in which London waterways can enrich regeneration opportunities and support education, training and volunteering. Our strategy is not set in stone. It is designed to develop over time with the continuing input from those supporting our waterways. We will report progress at our Annual Meeting. Our aspirations are ambitious and how quickly the objectives are met, will depend on the resources available in terms of money and support from within the Canal & River Trust and externally. What is not in question is our conviction that the regional and local elements of the Trust’s overall strategy should be emphasised. We set up the Partnership Board of 12 members in July 2013 and deliberately chose to make the board as diverse as possible in order to reflect the very wide range of interests in canals and waterways. I have been impressed by the Board’s commitment and enthusiasm, characteristics which have been reflected in the many people we have met in getting to know the key elements of London’s very diverse waterways.

  • March 10 Magazine for Website
    From the Vicar Revd Anne Donaldson Couples at our Marriage Preparation day and folk on the current Alpha course have made similar comments: how nice to have time to sit and really talk to each other. How true, but what a comment on our life nowadays!! Surely relationships of one sort and another are what makes life really hum, aren’t they? So why do we do so little about them? Like anything else that matters in life, they are worth investing in – and that means investing time. Precious time. Pressured time. Time is the hardest thing to give nowadays it seems, and yet the most valuable – far more valuable than money or things. I think of the little boy who said that he really wouldn’t mind not going abroad for a holiday, or not having a Wii, what he really wanted was time with his parents. A teenager said that he’d had a great weekend, even though he was doing something he didn’t particularly like, because it was ‘quality time with Dad’. Lent is a time in which we are encouraged to assess our lives: are they what we want them to be? For a Christian: are they what God would want them to be? (Christians have given our lives to God, so our lives belong to Him and we are simply stewards of them) So maybe it would be good to take some time this month to think (and pray) through what your priorities are in life. And then look at how you spend your time: does that reflect your priorities? For example, if you say that your husband / wife / partner / children are top priority, how does that work itself out through your diary? And when you are together

The work was commissioned by the Canal & River Trust. Tumbling Bay Cottage was constructed to provide accommodation for the weir keeper at Ware Weir. The weir separates the course of the River Lea and the River Lee Navigation and allows the flow of water between the two to be regulated. At the time of its construction in 1886, the cottage would have provided simple accommodation considered suitable for the role of weir keeper. The cottage was situated to provide the best views of the weir and the Navigation, which would have allowed the keeper to constantly monitor the water levels. With the exception of a small extension added to the rear, the cottage has escaped substantial modernisation.

  • London Waterway River Lee & Stort Fisheries and Angling Action Plan
    River Lee & Stort Fisheries & Angling Action Plan London Waterway River Lee & Stort Fisheries and Angling Action Plan 2015 Authors National Fisheries & Angling Team London Waterway Team Local Fisheries & Angling Stakeholders 1 River Lee & Stort Fisheries & Angling Action Plan 2 River Lee & Stort Fisheries & Angling Action Plan Introduction In September 2013 the Trust launched a new angling strategy, ‘Be Inspired; Go Fishing’, which set out how the Trust intends to work more closely with angling clubs to change perceptions of angling, encourage more people to try the sport, encourage communities to play a leading role in keeping the tradition alive on their local waterways as well as maintaining and improving the local water and bankside habitat. The strategy also outlines how the Trust wants to work with communities to improve facilities, access for anglers, and in particular to grow the numbers of people involved in the sport by attracting more young people as well as improving the environment in which fish live. Fish are at the heart of angling and the aquatic environment. Good fishing relies on having healthy fish populations. Fish are a key indicator of water quality in a piece of legislation called the Water Framework Directive. We will work to achieve the targets set out in the directive to achieve good ecological potential (and status) for our waterways. Context Many angling clubs feel marginalised in their relationship with the Trust and want to feel more valued as a customer. This action plan will serve to identify the priority issues that need to be addressed locally to strengthen relationships with existing clubs, to attract new clubs and lapsed and new angling customers.

  • Cheshunt to Broxbourne Walk
    Saturday Walkers Club www.walkingclub.org.uk Cheshunt to Broxbourne walk River Lee Country Park and Waltham Abbey Length Main Walk: 17½ km (10.9 miles). Three hours 55 minutes walking time. For the whole excursion including trains, sights and meals, allow at least 7½ hours. Short Circular Walk, from Cheshunt: 12 km (7.5 miles). Two hours 35 minutes walking time. Long Circular Walk, from Broxbourne: 20 km (12.4 miles). Four hours 30 minutes walking time. OS Map Explorer 174. Cheshunt, map reference TL365022, is in Hertfordshire, 7 km NE of Enfield. Waltham Abbey is in Essex. Toughness 2 out of 10 (1 for the Short Circular Walk). Features The Lea Valley is a wide floodplain which has long been both an important transport corridor and a natural boundary (eg. between the Saxons and the Danes in the Dark Ages). Its rivers provided water and power for many mills and factories, although nowadays the journey out of London seems to offer an unbroken line of light industrial estates, warehouses and retail parks. This does not exactly lift the spirits when seen from the train, but on the Herts/Essex border just before Cheshunt the view abruptly changes to the tree-lined lakes of River Lee Country Park. There are good opportunities for bird-watching in this wetland landscape of rivers and filled-in gravel pits, and several locations where orchids can be seen in late May and June. A series of sculptures are dotted around the park and the walk route goes past many of them. https://www.walkingclub.org.uk/walk/cheshunt-to-broxbourne/ 1/12 The lunchtime stop is in the historic market town of Waltham Abbey.
