Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Hertford Union Canal or Duckett's Cut, just over 1 mile (1.6 km) long, connects the Regent's Canal to the Lee Navigation in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in East London. It was opened in 1830 but quickly proved to be a commercial failure. It was acquired by the Regents Canal Company in 1857, and became part of the Grand Union Canal in 1927.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Der Hertford Union Canal oder Duckett’s Canal ist ein Kanal von 1,5 km Länge im London Borough of Tower Hamlets im Osten von London. Er verbindet den Regent's Canal mit der Lee Navigation. Er wurde 1830 eröffnet. Es stellte sich aber schnell heraus, dass er eine geschäftliche Fehlkalkulation war. Er wurde von 1857 von der Regents Canal Company übernommen und wurde 1927 ein Teil des Grand Union Canal.
