The Prescott Channel was built in 1930–35 as part of a flood relief scheme for the River Lee Navigation in the East End of London, England, and was named after Sir William Prescott, the then chairman of the Lee Conservancy Board.^[1] Rubble from the demolished Euston Arch was used in 1962 to improve the channel,^[2] which forms part of the Bow Back Rivers.
