Stanstead Abbotts, The River Lee Navigation 1929
Photo ref:
81865
More about this scene
The network of canals developed mainly in the 18th century before the arrival of the railway. The complex of rivers and canals at Stanstead St Margarets and Stanstead Abbots bring together the Lea, the New River, Stanstead Mill Stream and, slightly further to the south, the River Stort. It has been a source of confusion to visitors that the river is called the Lea, whilst the Navigation is called the Lee! No one seems to know the reason for the difference.
