Thames Lock, River Wey
Image: © Dr Neil Clifton Taken: 12 Apr 1974
A small cruiser passes the top gates and so onto the peaceful Wey Navigation. There could not be two waterways more different than the Thames and the Wey. The Thames is full of bustle and action, but thankfully, the gin-palace brigade cannot get their oversized craft through the Wey locks, so the latter river is left as a haven of peace for those who particularly value this aspect of the waterways.
