Nearest stations Waltham Cross . to start: Section finish: Wharf Road (Ponders End). Nearest stations Ponders End . to finish: Section distance: 3.5 miles (5.5 kilometres). Introduction. The Lea Valley Walk begins at the River Lea Navigation, close to Waltham Town Lock and Waltham Abbey, with the first section taking walkers down to Ponders End, a distance of three and a half miles. Highlights before the start of the walk include Waltham Abbey, Cornmill Meadows and the Royal Gunpowder Mills and the Lee Valley White Water Centre. On the route itself walkers can also visit Rammey Marsh and Myddleton House. The route is clearly marked and is one linear route running alongside the River Lea. There are plenty of opportunities along the route to take in a break with several picnic spots. National Rail services operate from Ponders End station, or walkers can continue along to Tottenham Hale. Continues on next page Directions. From Waltham Cross station turn right out of the station, up the steps and right onto Eleanor Cross Road.

  • “Peelers Progress”
    “PEELERS PROGRESS” Policing Waltham Abbey since 1840 by Bryn Elliott Foreword The police in Waltham Abbey are not a unique band of men and women in themselves. The station buildings occupied by the police in the locality were never structures considered in the forefront of architectural style. Although there were a few well known cases, no mind shattering, world famous crimes were ever said to have taken place in the area, and yet...... Here is a story of one relatively insignificant police station situated for 160 years on the outer edges of the Metropolitan Police District. It may be a surprise to learn that from the pages of this story that some well known cases were indeed enacted within its jurisdiction, and that the officers serving there were, on occasion, embroiled in famous events outside of the town. In writing this history of Waltham Abbey police officers, and the buildings in which they served, I have attempted to refrain from setting down the whole history of local law and order. Brief mention is made of the arrangement in force prior to the arrival of the Metropolitan Police in the area, hopefully in context. Other than those few instances I have avoided the period that would inevitably include such well known figures as the highwaymen Dick Turpin and the Gregory Gang, who included large swathes of Epping Forest in their plundering forays. Highwaymen have strong connections with the area during the 18th Century, but this is primarily the story of the modern police and the locality they served. It is unfortunate that few of the 19th Century local historians thought fit to make more than a passing mention of their local police force.

  • Netherhouse Farm, Sewardstone, Epping Forest, Essex
    Netherhouse Farm, Sewardstone, Epping Forest, Essex An Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment for Waltham Forest Friendly Society by Heather Hopkins Thames Valley Archaeological Services Ltd Site Code NFC08/97 October 2008 Summary Site name: Netherhouse Farm, Sewardstone, Epping Forest, Essex Grid reference: TQ 3867 9745 Site activity: Desk-based assessment Project manager: Steve Ford Site supervisor: Heather Hopkins Site code: NFC 08/97 Area of site: c. 50 ha Summary of results: The site lies in an area where comparatively little archaeological research has been carried out, but which has produced limited evidence for prehistoric and Roman settlement, and is in a topographic setting that may have been favoured for early settlement. The site has never been developed. There is only a very low potential for any remains of national importance to be present, but a moderate potential for remains of local interest. Golf course construction would involve some truncation of the archaeologically relevant levels. It is anticipated that further information on the archaeological potential of the site will be required from field observations (trial trenching) in order to devise a mitigation strategy if required.

  • Queen Mary and King George V Emergency Draw Down Schemes
    Queen Mary and King George V Emergency Draw Down Schemes BRYN PHILPOTT, Thames Water Utilities Ltd YINKA OYEYEMI, Jacobs UK Ltd JOHN SAWYER, Jacobs UK Ltd SYNOPSIS. Thames Water owns a large number of non-impounding reservoirs. These have unusually long embankments with narrow clay cores and gravel shoulders, which could be susceptible to piping failure and erosion. They are typically located in urban areas. Thames Water has therefore reviewed its policy regarding emergency drawdown capacity and started an improvement programme on the most critical reservoirs. The Queen Mary and King George V reservoirs are two of these critical non-impounding reservoirs with continuous embankment lengths of 6.3km and 6.5km and storage volumes of 30 Mm 3 and 12 Mm 3 respectively. Following the statutory inspection of these reservoirs, a safety recommendation was made which required a significant increase to the existing emergency draw down capacity of each reservoir. This required Queen Mary reservoir to achieve 0.75 metre emergency draw down from top water level within 24hrs and King George V reservoir to achieve 1m draw down in 24hrs. Studies instigated as a result looked at various options of achieving the draw down with the final solution involving the design and construction of twin siphon pipes fitted with submerged discharge valves. It is believed that a number of UK reservoirs may require additional emergency draw down capacity as measures in the interest of safety, as defined within the terms of the Reservoirs Act 1975, over the next few years. This paper looks at the options considered before arriving at the final solution.
