River Ravensbourne, Cornmill Gardens

Click for full picture Before the regeneration of this site, this section of the Ravensbourne flowed through an area known as the Sundermead Estate. The river had been constrained within a narrow concrete channel as part of an historic flood defence scheme. This, together with high steel railings and overgrown vegetation had resulted in a neglected river possessing little ecological or local community interest. The river restoration scheme formed part of the Urban Renaissance in Lewisham programme which aimed to create a new public open space within the Town Centre.
