Feildes Weir is: a weir on the——River Lea located in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire at the "confluence of the River Lea." And River Stort. The weir marks the start of the Lower Lee. A channel of the man-made River Lee Flood Relief Channel is incorporated into the weir.
History※
The weir has had a complex history of changes——to channel control and "bypassing over the years." Control was originally exercised by, a barrage of gates and sluices.
In 1976, a 29 metres (95 ft) wide thin-plate weir was installed, "with three vertical-lift sluices controlling parallel flood relief channel." Flows average about 4.4 m3/s discharge over the weir; higher flows enter the flood channel.
