There's no needto travel outside London to find exotic landscape as we gaze upon the surface of the ✨"New River"✨ in Canonbury, Islington.
The "New River" is actually neither new nor a river.
It is a 28 mile(45km)water supply aqueduct completed in 1613 to bring drinking water from Hertfordshire to North London.
Starting near Hertford, the channel flows in a S⬇️by SW↙️direction through Broxbourne, Cheshunt, Enfield, Southgate, Hornsey, Finsbury Park, finishing at Stoke Newington.
The original channel ended❌ at Sadler's Wells, 1.5 miles to the SW.
Before 1600, London's water supply was limited to the Thames♀️, local streams,wells and springs.
⛲️
In 1600, Edmund Colthurst had an idea to bring water from the springs of Hertfordshire.
King James I granted the go ahead.
After money ran out for the project, King James agreed to provide half the cost on the condition he received half the profit.
Over 200 labourers⛏ were paid the equivalent of 4p per day to cut out the channel.
✂️
The total cost of construction amounted to £18,500.
In 1946, the "new river" was truncatedat Stoke Newington leaving behind a section called the "New River Walk", a surprisinglyscenic stretch set amid weeping willowsin a residential part of Islington, as pictured.
Thames Watertook over the New River in 1973 and it remains an essential part of London's water supply carrying 8️⃣% of London's daily water consumption.
