this became part of Lesneys Matchbox toys factory in the 1960s[??] and lasted the longest http://www.vintagebritishdiecasts.co.uk/factory.htm

In 1981 the GLC built a low rise estate here called Sherrys Wharf

Hackney East Marsh, a location completely devastated during the 2010-12 period, and beyond, beneath over a foot of hardcore and tarmac all for the sake of a coach/bus running depot for the Stratford Olympics. It was lamely referred to by many as the "Greenest Games ever". Will it ever be returned to the former 10 football pitches and 2 rugby ones?

Now the Lea Interchange junction and formerly? the highest point at which the River Lea was tidal.

Definately now Lea Interchange, but the Lea was at least up to the Olympics, tidal up to The Prince of Wales, just below Lea Bridge Road.

This was to become the extension of Homerton Road to what is now the Lea Interchange junction

Fascinating to see this view of Hackney Marshes (left) and Marshgate Bridge (pinned) from this angle looking SE. All prior to the construction in the 1930's of major roads towards Leyton.

I think the highest point at which the Old River Lee was tidal would have been at Lee Bridge where the sluices still allow a controlled water flow from the Lee Navigation into the Old River Lee.

Unfortunately this is not borne out by reference to any survey published on an O.S. map.

Hi Keith for years I worked on Hackney Marshes, up to c2010, and clearly saw the tide coming up, past the Marshes and to the sluice below the Lea Bridge Road
