After weeks of heavy rain and flooding inland The Thames & Medway Canal appeared to be much fuller than usual. This part of the Thames & Medway Canal was opened between Gravesend and Higham in 1801 and continued in use until 1934. A more typical view of the canal a little way to the east can be seen at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2118631 To find out more about the Thames & Medway Canal and the plans to restore it visit http://www.thamesmedway.co.uk/
