Summary

edit
Description
English: Lower River Lea - the Bow Creek section, and disused railway bridge.
  • The bridge was built to carry a single track railway goods line over the River Lea from Canning Town to the sidings near the former East India Dock pepper warehouses. The bridge was built in 1848 and the OS mapping of 1946 shows the trackwork in situ on either side.
  • Today all trace of the trackwork has gone, although the DLR uses the route to the east of the bridge here 721325.
  • Comparing this with Danny's 441627 from less than a year previously it is evident that maintenance work has since been undertaken on the bridge by way of renewing the protective cladding around the four supporting columns. The two photographs also show the creek at different tide levels.
