Unprecedented low water in Thames, preparations for erecting pair of Lock gates at Inglesham where Canal falls into the River. Had taken old gates out when heavy rains compelled workmen to abandon the job before perfected. But made passable for boats & rains welcome to provide means of carrying winter stock of coals along Canal & down Thames at trifling cost for water.
