Description: | Children are playing in the shallow waters of Connaught Water in Epping Forest. This was a popular destination for many East Enders during their time off.
This artificial lake is a popular habitat for water fowl such as black-tailed skimmers, red-crested pochards and barnacle geese.
The lake was created in 1883 by draining swampy land that was unsafe for cattle at that time. Two ornamental islands were created ten years later. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Kodak | Subjects: | Environment Leisure | Temporal: | 1910 - 1920 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
