Hidden Henley

I HAVE noticed that almost every boat moored on the Thames around here has an Environment Agency ticket affixed to its side.

Each year the agency sends out warnings that craft should be licensed to be on the Thames from the beginning of the year, not just for the boating season, and it appears that action is now being taken to enforce this rule.

An exception must have been made for this boat close to the Thames and Kennet Marina, which could never be given a safety certificate. It has been a wreck for many years and appears to be steadily sinking into the mud.

However, when I last passed by, the boat appeared to have several people living on it.
