Boxing Day WalkStaines, Runnymede & Old Windsor. Sat 26 Dec 2015 |

The Swan Upper in its new location by the Thames is one of the better artworks on the Staines Art Walk which recently been relaunched. This is The River Guardian looking across at the Swan Hotel The Swan and The Hythe are both in Egham The boundary between Staines and Egham runs under the bridge and along the depression here on the Surrey bank and these buildings are in Staines . I think this dock was designed for use by the Sea Scouts who never really got to use it a fishy boat on the Thames and the waterworks at Egham which has a large intake from the River Thames There were no 'Fishing Fanatics' on this stretch of the Thames on Boxing Day, but they had left their mark |

Runnymede with an example of Lutyens at his slackest to mark both ends Streams of the Thames ran at various places across the flood plain and some still try to do so No one really knows exactly where the meeting where the Magna Carta was signed was held my guess is that it would be near Ankerwyke - and could have been on either side of the modern river course |
