Dock Cottages
Some original housing, right beside the old docks as they empty into the River Parrett. The flags are doubtless part of the 2014 World Cup celebration. A benchmark has been cut into the side of number 1 - see Image

Bridgwater & Taunton Canal
The canal enters the River Parrett below a ship lock and Image after its 22 kilometres journey. There is no navigable link between the two waterways, as the canal is used for transporting drinking water for Bridgwater. I don't think the muddy stretch shown is included in this.

The Old Ship Lock
Entering the River Parrett were any number of trading ships, as well as the occasional fishing vessel trying to find shelter. Once in the stretches here they would enter the Tidal Basin of the Bridgwater and Taunton Canal along this channel.
Look closely at the mudflats and a little white bird - see Image] for a closer look.
