Romney Island
1774: Poundlock decided on just above Windsor Bridge.
Materials and tools collected; but the scheme fell through due to
intense local hostility.
1797: Romney Lock opened. There was at first no weir. When a weir
was built it had opening tackle “so as to admit the largest barges
navigated on the river to pass through”
1799: Navigation “was found inconvenient from Windsor Bridge to the entrance to the new cut at
Romney for want of a draught of water into the cut”
1859: Mr & Mrs Hall –
We soon pass through Windsor Lock, still lonely and retired, although so much of business and bustle is so close at hand –
"Windsor” Lock, 1859, Mr & Mrs Hall
1864: Eton College -
the works are so dangerously ruined that the College gave warning that the Commissioners would be held liable for any loss of life. The whole might go away suddenly at any time. One of the most important weirs in the river.
1869: Pound lock rebuilt
1888: Romney Lock, Henry Taunt -
