The Lea: A Suburban Industrial River, 1855-1915.
I am working on a paper about the transformation of the Lower Lea River (including the Bow Back Rivers and Bow Creek) into an industrial river network, during the second half of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century. As I write the paper I will be creating some GIS maps of the area from that I will post on this blog. I’ve included the abstract for this paper below. Here is a very early map of the rivers I’m researching.
