Limehouse Cut Railway Bridge No 2

 
Limehouse Cut, London E14 6TA, United Kingdom
 

Limehouse Cut Railway Bridge No 2 carries the road from Bury to Southbury over the Lee and Stort Navigation (Limehouse Cut).

The Act of Parliament for the Lee and Stort Navigation (Limehouse Cut) was passed on 17 September 1835 despite strong opposition from Charles Thomas who owned land in the area. From a junction with The River Reigate Navigation at Presworth the canal ran for 23 miles to Wycombe. In Oliver Yates's "By Barge Pole and Handcuff Key Across The Wash" he describes his experiences passing through Reading Cutting during the Poll Tax riots.
