Hertford Union Canal

The Hertford Union Canal is a short stretch (c. 1.5km) of canal in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London. It runs along the southern side of Victoria Park. Like its 1766 predecessor, the Limehouse Cut, the Hertford Union Canal was intended to provide a straight short-cut between the River Thames and the River Lea Navigation, utilising a short stretch of the Regent's Canal. Promoted by Sir George Duckett and authorised by an Act of Parliament in 1824, it opened in 1830 and was for some years known as Duckett's Canal. Never a commercial success, it was eventually acquired by the Regent's Canal Company in 1857.
