Re: Bank near Saul Bridge I will look at it in the next few days My man down there could do what is required. A large quantity of water flowed over your land near the long row of cottages and did serious damage to the towpath. Please consider erecting a bank at the top of your gardens to prevent this happening in future. PS. It was this water that caused the overflow (not canal water) We cannot be responsible for floods and tides. The Canal works comply with the Act of Parliament.
