The Limehouse Cut is a straight, broad canal in the East End of London, England, which linked the lower reaches of the Lee Navigation to the River Thames. It now connects to Limehouse Basin as a result of changes made in 1968.
The Cut turns in a broad curve from Bow Locks, where the Lee Navigation meets Bow Creek; it then proceeds directly south-west for 2 miles (3.2 km) through the London Borough of Tower Hamlets to Limehouse Basin.
Famous quotes containing the word cut:
“a big picture of K. Marx with an axe,
“Where I cut off one it will never grow again.”
O Karl would it were true
I’d put my saw to work for you
& the wicked social tree would fall right down.”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
