The Lee Conservancy Catchment Board was formed in 1930 under the provisions of the Land Drainage Act. It replaced the Commissioners of Sewers within its area and was responsible for drainage into the River Lee [or Lea]. The Board had members from the Essex, Middlesex and London County Councils as well as members of the Lee Conservancy Board, an authority responsible for regulation of the river. From 1947 the Lee Conservancy Catchment Board took over the functions of the Lee Conservancy Board, including responsibility for water supply, fisheries, pollution and land drainage.
