 | | The Lower Lea Valley has been more or less continuously occupied since the end of the last Ice Age c 12,000 years ago. |
 | | For this reason most of the Lower Lea Valley is a designated Archaeological Priority Area. |
 | | Today, the stretch of the Lea Valley which has received planning consent for redevelopment as an Olympic Park is a particularly urban landscape, the result of centuries of use and change, comprising a complex network of canals and canalized rivers, roads and railways, interspersed with former industrial sites, derelict land, warehouses, and light industry. |
