Made virtually redundant now by the construction of the Jubilee River, this is the downstream end of the channel shortly before its confluence with The Cut. Photographed here looking upstream and back towards Maidenhead from the Causeway footbridge it is now a quiet backwater. The channel itself was built by the then responsible body, the Thames Conservancy, after the damaging floods of 1947 were followed by further localized flooding in Maidenhead in 1954.
