==History==
In 1582 ''Mill Fields Lane'' ran from Clapton to ''Jeremy's Ferry'' in the Leyton Marshes. At the same spot a timber bridge was built in 1745, and the road became known as ''Lea Bridge Road'', with a tollgate at the Clapton end.〔('Hackney: Communications', A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 10: Hackney (1995), pp. 4-10 ) Date accessed: 1 November 2006〕 A toll house was built on the west bank of the river in 1757, and the bridge rebuilt in iron in 1820–1. Tolls continued to be levied until 1872.
Clapton Orient played at the Lea Bridge Stadium between 1930 and 1937 before moving to Brisbane Road. The stadium was also used for speedway and was the home track of the Lea Bridge speedway team.
