  • 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.

  • CODY DOCK Paul Ferris
    THE HISTORY OF CODY DOCK Paul Ferris Chapter 1 A background Anybody visiting Cody Dock, and arriving via the main gate off South Crescent, near Star Lane DLR station, will see that the 2.5-acre site is situated within a mix of modern business park and light industry. Anybody visiting Cody Dock, and arriving via the main gate off South Crescent, near Star Lane DLR station, will see that the 2.5-acre site is situated within a mix of modern business park and light industry. As you walk through the gates and down the approach road the vista opens out to a view across the River Lea – with a background complex of run-down looking industrial premises, 60's high-rise and maisonettes and beyond that the towering financial institutions clustered around Canary Wharf. It is the river itself that has given rise to Cody Dock, and it would be worth looking at something of the history of the Lea and the company that built the dock to begin to appreciate its place and potential now and in the future. This is the first of a series of articles which will explain why the dock is here and what it was used for, why it closed down and became lost, how it was rediscovered and cleaned up, what it is used for now, and by whom, and what the plans are for the future. We will also be looking at the status of the wildlife around the dock, and what might be done to enhance this for its own benefit and for the benefit of people too.

  • The Navigation of the River Lee (1190 – 1790)
    Edmonton Hundred Historical Society Occasional Paper New Series No. 36 by J.G.L.Burnby and M.Parker. Published 1978 Added to the site by kind permission of Mr Michael Parker THE NAVIGATION OF THE RIVER LEE (1190 – 1790) PREFACE As the men of the river frequently pointed out the Lee is one of the "great rivers of the realm", and it is only fitting that its history should be traced; indeed it is surprising that the task has not been carried out far earlier than this. Regretfully the story of its busiest period in the days of post-canalisation has had to be left to another, later Occasional Paper. The spelling of the name of the river has varied over the centuries. In 1190 it was referred to as "the water of Lin", in the fourteenth century as "La Leye", the cartographer Saxton seems to have been the first to introduce "Lea" to map-makers in 1576, in the eighteenth century it was not infrequently called the "Ware River" but the commonest spelling would seem to be "Lee" and it is to this which we have decided to adhere. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS We would like to thank the London Borough of Haringey Libraries panel for their financial assistance in the publication of this paper. Our gratitude also goes to the Marquess of Salisbury for granting permission to reproduce the maps held in the Hatfield House Collection. A number of people have most generously helped us in the production of this paper. Mrs.H.Baker has with her usual expertise drawn the map of the lower reaches of the river, and Mr.Neil Clements is responsible for the charming reproductions of the prints of the Powder Mill at Waltham Abbey and the river at Ware.
