To get an idea of what a regenerated basin/canal looked like, and obviously some more inspiration, i took a personal field study visit to Limehouse Basin (Regent Canal Dock)
Great history surrounded the site, as it has been londons canal port since 1820.
There was even a gallery in the marina, but surprisingly had no connection with the dock/marina.
"Limehouse is the easternmost link between the Regent's Canal and the tidal River Thames. The basin connects with both the Regent's Canal (part of the Grand Union system) and the Limehouse Cut, an access point to the Lee Navigation. Originally built to accommodate barge traffic from the canal network, the basin was enlarged in the early 1800s to accommodate sea-going craft."
