Did You Hear The One About The King, The Knight And The Castle?

Here's Canal King Roger…
How about a tale of a King, a Knight and a Castle ?
They all played key parts in the story of the New River.
It’s not new, and it’s not a river.
But, amazingly, it’s celebrating its quartercentenary, by still doing what it was built to do, and supplying London’s water.
Here’s the Knight (Sir Hugh Myddelton)…

…and the Castle (now well known as the Castle Climbing Centre)…

To find out who the King was  -  come on our “From the Repertory” Walk - 400 Years of the New River -  on Sunday, 6^th October. We meet at Manor House tube station (Finsbury Park exit : no.6) at 2.30 pm.
