  • 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.

  • Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Character Assessment
    LCT C: Urban Valley Floor with Marshlands SPA, which provides a nationally important habitat for overwintering birds. Cultural Influences 4.64 The low-lying land of rich alluvial deposits supported a system of grazing, referred to as the Lammas system5 from the Anglo-Saxon period to the end of the C19th. Grazing rights on the marshes were extinguished by the early C20th and a substantial proportion of the marshlands, with the exception of Walthamstow Marshes, were then modified by industrial activities and landfill, including the dumping of bomb rubble after WW2. In the 1950 and 60s the construction of flood relief channels ended the periodic inundation of the marshlands. 4.65 Communication routes through the valley floor proliferated over the C20th, including pylons, roads and railway lines mounted on embankments, but residential and industrial development remains largely confined to the margins. 4.66 Public access and recreation now characterises much of the marshlands, with some areas managed as nature reserves. However substantial infrastructure, such as the railway lines and flood relief channels and adjacent industrial development, means access through and into the marshes from surrounding urban areas is often severed. The tow-path following the River Lee Navigation provides a continuous link along the valley for visitors to enjoy the landscape. 5 A system of grazing whereby cattle was grazed only after the cutting and collection of hay Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 85 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Lee Valley Regional Park Landscape Strategy 86 April 2019 LCA C1: Rammey Marsh Occasional long views out to wooded valley sides between Residential properties overlooking the southern area across the riverside vegetation.

  • The Olympics Legacy in Hackney Lea Bridge/Millfields and Surroundings
    Mapping Change for Sustainable Communities: The Olympics Legacy in Hackney Lea Bridge/Millfields and surroundings By: Ai Kaibu, Hauwa Usman, Natan Doron Sa’adatu Abatemi Usman, Salman Rassouli, Tim Jeffery, Veronica Cheng Group 3: Millfields and Lea Bridge The group’s research taps into the rich, unique history of the green spaces in the above area - Millfields Park and the Middlesex Filter Beds. For instance, the area got its name from the mills that were located on the River Lea in medieval times, close to where the Park now meets the Reserve. The Black Path through the park was a key trade route as farmers brought livestock down the path from Essex to the city’s main meat market at Smithfields. In the mid nineteenth century when cholera epidemics became a major health problem for the citizens of London, the filter beds were established to provide clean water to the thriving industrial metropolis. Terms of Reference (ToR) The group’s research aims to answer two main questions: What are the experiences, needs and expectations in the access to, use and appropriation of the Marsh by communities in your area? How would the changes brought about by the 2012 Olympic Games – both in terms of the infrastructure to be built but also in terms of opportunities open through the Legacy planning process – affect the possibility of enhancing environmental justice in the use of the Marsh by the diverse community groups in the area? Hypothesis 1 The group formulated two hypotheses to help the research answer the two key ToR questions on the previous slide.
