	River Stort - Bishop's Stortford and Thorley - A History and Guide
		For over 900 years the river supported the townspeople by driving the wheels of its water mills, but when the river was in flood, as it often was, it caused untold damage and misery to those same inhabitants.
		The river at this point is now dammed a short distance before Adderley Road, its final approach and the basin itself being filled in during town redevelopment in the early 1970s.
		Periodic approaches were made to the River Lea Trustees to see if they would buy it, and also to the Lea Conservancy Board who succeeded the Lea Trustees, but they also refused and it was eventually bought, ‘persuasively’ and reluctantly, in 1873, by Trueman, Hanbury and Buxton for £15,000.

	River Lee (England) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Another artificial channel, the New River was constructed to take clean water to London from the Lee and its catchment areas and bypass the polluting industries that had developed in its downstream reaches.
		Currently, "Lea" and "Lee" are the generally accepted spellings, with "Lea" used in reference to the original natural river and "Lee" referring to the canalised parts, such as the Lee Navigation.

		The Bow Back Rivers are a network of waterways criss-crossing the area that will be home to the Olympic park for the 2012 London Games.

		The New River is a man-made waterway in England, opened in 1613 to supply London with fresh drinking water taken from the River Lee and from springs and wells along its course.

		The crocodile theory began when boat trippers on the River Lea in east London, saw a Canada Goose apparently pulled under water at speed.
		Mark Gallant, of the Lea Rivers Trust, who was on the boat, told BBC News it would be frightened away by the sound of a boat motor so traps would have to be set for it.
		They think they are doing a good thing for the actual animal by putting it into a river or stream." Mr Gallant said the River Lea is the perfect place for the turtle, because the waterways there are similar to their natural habitat in North America.

	The River Lee Navigation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Work on improving the river's navigability is recorded as early as the fourteenth century and in 1425 there was an Act of Parliament to provide for further improvements.
		As was so often the case, where rivers were improved for navigation, there were arguments between barge owners and mill owners who preferred the available water to be used to mills rather than locks.
		The canal era was marked by the passage of the River Lea Act 1766 which authorised much more extensive improvement works and the construction of locks, new sections, and the Limehouse Cut, a connecting canal at the southern end.

		Recent work to clean up the river has included the construction of some small riffles which help the water to pick up oxygen and allow small fish to live in it.
		The river then enters the left bank as the Catsbrook and then the river flows on between Riddy Lane perhaps once called Reedy Lane, and Fallowfeild Road, across flat land which is still marshy after a rain fall.
		The River Lea then again passes under New Bedford Road to flow at the foot of the Moor, from this point for the next mile or so the river's course is not easy to follow.
