  • How Do You Lose a River?
    Number 1,1, SpringSummer 2016 2015 Waypoints 1 How do you lose a river? In this paper I explore the concept of the lost river and the implications this Jonathan Gardner term has for our understanding of the history of changing urban environ- jonathan.gardner@ucl. ments. ac.uk In taking a voyage down one of the London 2012 Olympic Park’s now-filled waterways, the Pudding Mill River, charting it and the surrounding area’s diverse history, I explore how rivers end up becoming losable. Drawing on diverse methodologies from archaeology and geography and with a particular emphasis on mapping, I argue that a literal and metaphorical exploration of such a rapidly changing environment reveals a multitude of buried narratives and fluid histories. This research suggests that the labeling of a river as lost is not a politically neutral act and that, with its romantic connotations, the term may actually serve to legitimise insensitive and contentious changes to our environment. Much has been written about London’s numerous lost watercourses over the years, most notably Nicho- las Barton’s seminal volume The Lost Rivers of London [1] and more, recently Paul Talling’s London’s Lost Riv- ers [2] and Tom Bolton’s London’s Lost Rivers: A Walker’s Guide [3]. In addition to these works a large range of blogs and websites devoted to the lost rivers are continually created and updated, for example, Diamond Geezer 2015 [4]. The subject is one that seems to inspire intense interest amongst a wide range of people and would suggest that city-dwellers are curiously attracted to such forgotten or lost spaces, and in particular, the unusual juxtaposition of the natural and the urban these watercourses seem to present.

  • Waterways Framework Olympic Legacy Waterways Framework Foreword 3
    OLYMPIC LEGACY WATERWAYS FRAMEWORK OLYMPIC LEGACY WATERWAYS FRAMEWORK FOREWORD 3 Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park straddles a previously hidden and derelict network of waterways known as the Bow Back Rivers. Shaped and adapted for over 1,000 years, these 6km of canals and rivers are finally re-connected to England and Wales’ 2,000 mile inland waterways network owned by the Canal & River Trust. They now lie at the heart of one of the biggest regeneration projects in Europe. Across the country waterways are playing a vital role in revitalising our cities in an attractive and sustainable way. The restoration and transformation of the Bow Back Rivers through London’s Olympic plans and through the construction of Three Mills Lock has created a living legacy for London’s people and wildlife, and will form the backbone for a world class water city. The Olympic Legacy Waterways Framework developed by the London Legacy Development Corporation in partnership with the Canal & River Trust looks at how the rivers’ potential can be unlocked so that they are not just a visual backdrop to the surrounding developments, but a leisure and commercial resource in their own right. This strategy expands beyond the 6km within the Park to encompass the River Lee Navigation from Three Mills Island to Hackney Marshes and the lower end of the Hertford Union Canal – a length of 11km in total.
