With Francis Giles appointed as engineer, the canal opened in 1830 and was for some years known as Duckett's Canal or Duckett's Cut.
•
It was acquired by the Regents Canal Company in 1857, and became part of the Grand Union Canal in 1927.
•
It allowed traffic on the Lea heading for the Thames to bypass the tidal, tortuous and often silted Bow Back Rivers of the Lea via a short stretch of the Regent's Canal, and provided a short-cut from the Lea to places west along the Regent's Canal.
•
The canal starts at Hertford Union Junction between Mile End Lock and Old Ford Lock on the Regent's Canal.
