Originally it was part of a continuous land mass on both sides of the Lee Navigation that formed the Hackney Marshes. in 1915 a piece of the Marshes was taken to create the National Projectile Factory and after World War I, in 1922, this site was used to create the Mabley Green recreation ground. Located next to the A12 road, it is linked to Hackney Wick and St Mary of Eton via the Red Path walkway and cycle path.
