Editor's Notes
The Prescott Channel was built in 1930–35 as part of a flood relief scheme for the River Lee Navigation in the County Borough of West Ham, England, and was named after Sir William Prescott, the then chairman of the Lee Conservancy Board. Rubble from the demolished Euston Arch was used in 1962 to improve the channel, which forms part of the Bow Back Rivers.
