Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Limehouse Cut is a largely straight, broad canal in the East End of London which links the lower reaches of the Lee Navigation to the River Thames. Opening on 17 September 1770, and widened for two-way traffic by 1777, it is the oldest canal in the London area. Although short, it has a diverse social and industrial history. Formerly discharging directly into the Thames, since 1968 it has done so indirectly by a connection through Limehouse Basin.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Der Limehouse Cut ist ein gerader, breiter Kanal im East End von London, England, der den River Lea mit der Themse verband. Nun schließt er das Limehouse Basin an, dass seinerseits mit der Themse verbunden ist, nachdem sein Lauf 1968 verändert wurde.
