Abstract: |
The Channelsea River is an ancient waterway, known to have been in existence by at least the eighth century. The course and form of the river have been much altered by human intervention, including the construction of several ditches and sewers which drain into it. Among these are the medieval Potter's Ditch and the nineteenth-century Henniker's Ditch. Although ground raising in the area now means that the waterways run along the base of deep, artificial channels, some banking structures remain, including timber and stone structures. These were recorded photographicallyphotographically prior to redevelopment of the area under the Olympic, Paralympic and Legacy Transformations Planning Applications. |
