  Lower Lea Valley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lower Lea Valley is the area surrounding the River Lea (or Lee), which runs along the boundary of the London Boroughs of Tower Hamlets and Newham and into the River Thames.
Much of the area is included in the masterplan of London's bid for the 2012 Olympic games, which will provide a legacy of facilities for this currently run-down area.
The Lower Lea valley is within the wider Thames Gateway regeneration area, and is part of the London Thames Gateway Development Corporation's remit.

Lea Valley distillery was visited by Alfred Barnard and his description of the works, given in full at the end of this article, is basically the only real source we have on the distillery.
To start with the ‘When’ question, the first reference to Lea Valley distillery appears to be in the 1886/7 local directory (it is not included in the 1882 directory).
It appears that Lea Valley was not in good shape in 1902 and quite possibly went bust shortly after the decline by D.C.L as the company is not listed in the 1903/4 directory (Charles Craig, in his Scotch Whisky Industry Record, writes that the distillery closed before 1910).

The parts of the Lower Lea Valley in Hackney comprise a large area of open space, Hackney Marsh and Arena Fields, and a significant industrial area, Hackney Wick which is seen in Hackney’s UDP as offering major development opportunities while the areas of open space are to be preserved.
It is bounded to the north by the Lower Lea Crossing, the River Thames to the west and Dock Road to the east with industrial uses to the south and south west (Carlsberg Tetley, a steel manufacturer and metal recycling facility).
The Lea Valley Walk follows the western boundary of Bow Industrial Park, along the towpaths to both the River Lea and the River Lea Navigation which are of high quality and positively contribute towards the wider environment.

 River Lee (England) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Lee or River Lea (both spellings are in general use) is a river in England.
It originates near Luton in the chalk beds of the northeast Chiltern Hills and flows generally east and then south to London where it meets the River Thames, the last section being known as Bow Creek.
The spelling Lea is predominant west (upstream) of Hertford, but both spellings are used from Hertford to the River Thames; the Lee Navigation was established by Acts of Parliament and should be so spelt.

 60 MIDDLE LEA VALLEY SOUTH
Less 'watery' than either of the other two areas of the southern Lea valley, due to greater areas of dry land and the difficulty of gaining access to the river or waterbodies.
During part of the 19th century the Lea valley was one of the largest centres of the malting and brewing industry in western Europe, and the mills were also used for papermaking.
This is a very mixed and incoherent area due to the variety of land uses and screening of the waterbodies from general view, which prevents their use to unify the area visually.
