If it did they are not worried, the Miller told me it often floods and the water just drains away again. Perhaps the salt helps preserve the timbers?That is a big one Missus. I hope it did not breach the floor in the tide mill
Sorry, but I have to disagree, there is far too much of this Elf & Safety attitude, a really stupid example is at Pin Mill where, when a concrete structure was built on the foreshore to take some benches - an excellent idea - an H&S obsessed pr*t insisted that the edge of the approx knee high structure should be protected. A massive steel railing was fitted which is ugly and quite out of proportion. It is however quite popular with small children who like swinging on it!! It is visible in the 1st of Aquaboys photos above.slight Fred Drift ere ; notice that the Quays with railings etc on their perimiter offer a safety marker when the Quay becomes over topped , whereas like at Woodbridge where there are non (in my experience ) its really easy to walk straight off the Quay perimiter into really deep water ;
Just maybe be Councils and Quay Owners should consider errecting perimeter railings for safety ; with prospect of higher tides owing to various issues in near future railings will become a must ;
Sorry for Fred Drift ; good photos of the flooded Quays etc
Lets go nowhere near or on the water at all then we wont risk drowning..........
The lump of concrete and railings at Pinmill was to stop people parking in that area...........they put wooden posts around the "edge" of the road first.....everyone drove around and below them and carried on parking funnily enough.......
I would like to think the folk filmed working on the sailing barge were recovering parts to use in the restotation of some other barge, but the sight of burning gear being used to dismantle her steering and the shot of her steering shaft, still carrying the two bronze nuts, being balanced on the top of a wobbly oil drum ready to fall o/b didn't encourage me. In the early 1980s, I put a lot of work into restoring the steering gear for one of TBSC's barges including casting and turning new phosphor bronze nuts for the 3" left and right hand square threads. Such rare components should be treated with respect.tonight's viewing.......
Recollections may differ.?Lets go nowhere near or on the water at all then we wont risk drowning..........
