River Thames: The New Cut in Old Windsor

It's called the New Cut but was actually dug out as long ago as 1822. It was constructed across the neck of a large meander of the River Thames in Old Windsor, with a view to shortening the navigable distance along the river. The cut-off land is now known as Ham Island and this view was taken looking upstream from Ham Bridge.
