Abstract:		 The waterways are situated with the London boroughs of Newham, Tower Hamlets and Hackney and cover a significant area of Stratford. Except for the Lea itself, the Bow Back rivers were artificially created millstreams, which in later years were also exploited for their navigability although little other physical development can be discerned during this time. Improvements took place in the 1850s and 1860s prompted by construction of the Lea Navigation and various locks at points around the Bow Back river network. By the 1870s the Rail network had started to take precedence in the area, the Great Eastern Railway (the main London to Stratford line), the North London Line and the Northern Outfall Sewer had been constructed. Their bridges became an essential component to the character of the waterways. Following the 1930 Flood Relief Act, various rivers were widened, deepened, and some were infilled or culverted. The 19th century locks were replaced and new locks were added. Post war work largely saw the waterways abandoned, infilled and culverted. mooring posts, which are situated at regular points around all the waterways could not be accurately dated through documentary research; in some cases mooring posts from earlier phases of waterway embankment have been reincorporated in later work.
