A fascinating 18th century view of the landscape of east London - the Thames (with the 'Dickensian' Marshes to either bank) and showing the effective barrier of the Lea Valley and the marshes at Hackney & West Ham. The eastern suburbs of the city - Bethnal Green and Hackney peter out towards the east - with the main spine of the main road east through Stratford-le-Bow leading to the effective hamlets of West Ham and Ilford.
