Lea Navigation and Bow Back Rivers

This wharf is on the Lea Navigation just below the Bow flyover

The wharf is now used for storage of liquified gases, but everything comes in and out by lorry.  The odd D-shape is an advertising sign.

The old wooden lock has been replaced. The double gates allow the water level to be higher or lower on the tidal waterway (right) compared to the navigation level at left.
