And the few trustees who used to turn up to meetings, only one was a trader who owned barges. In fact they were not very good, and were in debt due to miss-management and had to put up fees to barges etc. that used it. But they had more political might. The map was commissioned by the City of London, and surveyed by Robert Whitworth. It shows the proposed course of the new canal, the old River Lea, the so-called "New River", and something of the surrounding countryside. Size; Total area 19.5 x 53 wide cm approx.
