PHYSICAL FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT.
The Urban District of Edmonton has an area of 3894 acres, including 31 of
water. It is situated in the County of Middlesex, on the west bank of the
River Lea. The chief watercourses are Salmon's Brook, which takes a southeasterly
course across the northern part of the district to the sewage farm, but
there turns due south and joins Pymmes Brook on the extreme south-east
corner of the district. Pymmes Brook flows through the southern part of
Edmonton and Pymmes Park in an easterly direction as far as Angel Road
Station, but a little further on it takes a southern course and is joined by
Salmon's Brook ; the combined waters ultimately fall into the River Lea below
Tottenham Lock. The New River lies on the western boundary.
