Three Mills Wall River Weir

Three Mills Wall River Weir

Three Mills Wall River Weir is a weir on the River Lea, in the London Borough of Newham, near to Three Mills.

The weir has been constructed across part of the Prescott Channel to control the levels in the Bow Back Rivers and make then navigable for barges during the Olympic Park, London construction phase. It will be used in conjunction with the Three Mills Lock, a lock.

The weir leads into the Three Mills mill pound. Since the 1930s, this has not received sufficient tidal water to operate the restored tidal mill. The planning application for the weir and lock mention the possibly of restoring operation to the tide mill.
