Dist:0.2km<br/>This bridge is situated just north of the Twelvetrees Crescent bridge. I have no idea why this bridge is not in use, as there is no access at all from the strip of land between the old river and the Navigation, to the Twelvetrees bridge.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Lea Navigation goes from the Thames to the rural peace of Hertfordshire but here at Bow, in the heart of the East End and near the Three Mills Film studios where "Big Brother" is broadcast, people are still hooked on simple pleasures.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking eastwards from its junction with the Old River Lee. This waterway is said to be navigable at high tide for about half a mile as far as the Northern Outfall Sewer. I can think of no reason why anyone would wish to navigate it.

Dist:0.2km<br/>What could be a useful bridge over to the east side of the Old River Lea, is gated off. This is an example of industrial dereliction at its worst, for there would be no problem for a wiry young nipper bent on vandalism in gaining access onto the bridge. So the message to the appropriate authority is, either restore the bridge or remove it completely.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Twelvetrees Crescent carries a lot of industrial traffic so this new bridge of two arches was put in. This shows the easterly arch, crossing the old river at the head of Bow Creek.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Looking south. Many rail tracks cross here: nearest to the camera are the two tracks of London Transport's District Line - Bromley-by-Bow station is about half a mile to the west. Behind are the London Tilbury and Southend lines.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The rivers and canals on the site of the 2012 Olympics are a haven for wild-life so close to the City. The banks are overgrown with brambles and weeds; there are supermarket trolleys in the mud. It's not pretty - but it does serve a purpose. Scenes like this will disappear when the bulldozers move in.
