In 19578, the Channelsea River was culverted between Stratford High Street and Lett Road.[1]

In 1994, the historian Dan Cruickshank found 4,000 tons (60%) of the lost Euston Arch buried in the bed of the River Lea at the Channelsea River and the Prescott Channel.[2]

Channelsea Island is in this river.
