Dist:0.0km north<br/>'In 1839, William Farr, the famed sanitary reformer said that: "A park in the East End would diminish the annual deaths by several thousands, and add several years to the lives of the entire population."

Dist:0.2km north<br/>Looking northwest, it can be seen how only one of the original pair of locks is in use, the left hand one having been converted into a weir. The name 'Old Ford Lock' must be used with qualification, unless the context is clear, because there is an 'Old Ford Lock' also on the Lee Navigation.

Dist:0.3km north<br/>It has often been said that canals 'poke green fingers' into the heart of cities. Here we see the surprisingly rural western approach to Old Ford Lock in what is otherwise a heavily urban area.
