The River Thames at Old Windsor lock has been almost completely blocked since early this morning by a fallen tree. It is impossible for boat owners to navigate through by themselves.

Had this tree fallen during the day instead of at night there could have been a disaster as big as the Marchioness if it had come down on one of the party boats which regularly uses this stretch of the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (thamesweb) http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/877 Mon, 26 May 2008 13:59:49 GMT http://theroyalwindsorforum.yuku.com/topic/839/t/EA-threat-to-Lock-Keepers-Houses.html

A rare sight this, not one but two commercial canal boats tethered in tandem proceeding under Windsor Bridge downstream towards Romney Lock.

If anyone has any additional information about these two boats and what they were up to, we would love to hear.

However, many contributions have been received in the more recent past covering a variety of aspects of flooding in the Windsor area.
