Bow Creek

Bow Creek is a two and a quarter mile long tidal estuary of the River Lee and is part of the Bow Back Rivers.

Ships were built at Orchard House Yard and launched in the creek where they could travel along the River Lee Navigation or South to the River Thames.

In 1810 an iron bridge was built spanning the creek.
