Cambridge Heath
The Great Eastern Railway viaduct of 1872 crossing the Regents Canal, just to the north of Cambridge Heath station, looking east on 31st August 2020. This viaduct carries London Overground trains from Liverpool Street to Chingford, Enfield Town and Cheshunt as well as Stansted Express and Cambridge services. The Regents Canal is celebrating its bi-centenary in 2020, having opened in 1820 to link the Grand Junction Canal at Paddington with the Thames at Limehouse. Both canals were amalgamated in 1929 to form the Grand Union Canal but the Regents Canal is still known colloquially by its original name.
