  of

  Shepperton's
• 1:05
  most
• 1:05
  iconic
• 1:06
  landmarks,
• 1:07
  Shepperton
• 1:08
  Lock.
• 1:08
  It
• 1:08
  was
• 1:08
  built
• 1:09
  back
• 1:09
  in
• 1:09
  1813,
• 1:10
  and
• 1:11
  like
• 1:11
  all
• 1:11
  Thames
• 1:12
  Locks,
• 1:12
  it's
• 1:12
  been
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  stage
• 1:13
  for
• 1:13
  countless
• 1:14
  stories.
• 1:15
  For
• 1:15
  more
• 1:15
  than
• 1:15
  50
• 1:15
  years,
• 1:16
  one
• 1:16
  man
• 1:17
  has
• 1:17
  lived
• 1:17
  and
• 1:18
  worked
• 1:18
  there.
• 1:18
  His
• 1:19
  name
• 1:19
  is
• 1:19
  Steve
• 1:20
  Newman.
• 1:24
  I
• 1:25
  began
• 1:25
  by
• 1:25
  asking
• 1:26
  Steve
• 1:26
  to
• 1:26
  describe
• 1:27
  what
• 1:27
  it
• 1:27
  feels
• 1:28
  like
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  stand
• 1:28
  here
• 1:29
  on
• 1:29
  a
• 1:29
  day
• 1:29
  like
• 1:30
  today.
• 1:30
  I
• 1:31
  think
• 1:31
  I'm
• 1:31
  very
• 1:32
  lucky.
• 1:32
  I
• 1:32
  think
• 1:33
  I'm
• 1:33
  privileged
• 1:33
  to
• 1:34
  be
• 1:34
  here,
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  be
• 1:34
  honest.
• 1:35
  Living
• 1:35
  in
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  lockhouse,
• 1:36
  getting
• 1:37
  up
• 1:37
  in
• 1:37
  the
• 1:37
  morning,
• 1:38
  getting
• 1:38
  dressed,
• 1:38
  and
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  come
• 1:39
  out
• 1:40
  on
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  day
• 1:41
  like
• 1:41
  today.
• 1:41
  Blue
• 1:42
  sky.
• 1:42
  And
• 1:43
  sometimes
• 1:44
  I
• 1:44
  have
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  pinch
• 1:45
  myself,
• 1:46
  especially
• 1:46
  this
• 1:46
  time
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  year.
• 1:47
  I
• 1:47
  think
• 1:47
  the.
• 1:48
  The
• 1:48
  colours
• 1:49
  and
• 1:50
  the
• 1:50
  shade.
• 1:51
  There's
• 1:52
  something
• 1:52
  about
• 1:52
  September
• 1:53
  which
• 1:53
  is.
• 1:54
  I
• 1:54
  love
• 1:55
  it.
• 1:55
  I
• 1:55
  love
• 1:56
  September.
• 1:56
  It.
• 1:57
  Things
• 1:57
  start
• 1:58
  to
• 1:58
  quieten
• 1:58
  down
• 1:59
  on
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  river.
• 1:59
  We
• 2:00
  have
• 2:00
  had
• 2:01
  quite
• 2:01
  a
• 2:01
  busy
• 2:01
  year
• 2:02
  this
• 2:02
  year
• 2:02
  with
• 2:02
  boats,
• 2:03
  but
• 2:03
  September,
• 2:04
  it
• 2:04
  just
• 2:05
  seems
• 2:05
  the
• 2:05
  kids
• 2:05
  are
• 2:06
  back
• 2:06
  at
• 2:06
  school.
• 2:07
  It
• 2:07
  just
• 2:07
  seems
• 2:07
  to
• 2:08
  quieten
• 2:08
  down
• 2:08
  a
• 2:09
  little
• 2:09
  bit.
• 2:09
  It's
• 2:09
  a
• 2:09
  bit
• 2:09
  like
• 2:10
  the
• 2:10
  season's
• 2:10
  changing,
• 2:11
  really,
• 2:11
  you
• 2:12
  know,
• 2:12
  So
• 2:13
  I
• 2:13
  just
• 2:13
  find
• 2:13
  it's
• 2:14
  beautiful.
• 2:15
  I
• 2:15
  love
• 2:15
  it.
• 2:16
  I
• 2:16
  love
• 2:16
  looking
• 2:16
  out
• 2:17
  across
• 2:18
  down
• 2:18
  to
• 2:18
  D'Oyly
• 2:18
  Carte
• 2:19
  Island.
• 2:19
  That
• 2:20
  way
• 2:20
  we
• 2:21
  get
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  most
• 2:21
  fantastic
• 2:22
  sunsets.
• 2:23
  Being
• 2:23
  that
• 2:24
  Shepperton
• 2:24
  is
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  most
• 2:26
  southerly
• 2:26
  point
• 2:27
  on
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  River
• 2:27
  Thames,
• 2:28
  we
• 2:29
  get
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  best
• 2:29
  sunsets
• 2:30
  ever.
• 2:31
  Steve
• 2:32
  didn't
• 2:32
  set
• 2:32
  out
• 2:32
  to
• 2:32
  be
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  lock
• 2:33
  keeper.
• 2:34
  His
• 2:34
  first
• 2:34
  job
• 2:34
  was
• 2:34
  in
• 2:35
  printing,
• 2:35
  and
• 2:36
  a
• 2:36
  chance
• 2:36
  conversation
• 2:37
  set
• 2:37
  him
• 2:38
  on
• 2:38
  a
• 2:38
  new
• 2:38
  course.
• 2:39
  I
• 2:39
  left
• 2:39
  school,
• 2:41
  15,
• 2:42
  went
• 2:42
  straight
• 2:42
  to
• 2:42
  work.
• 2:43
  I
• 2:43
  was
• 2:43
  a
• 2:43
  printer
• 2:44
  for
• 2:45
  two
• 2:45
  or
• 2:45
  three
• 2:45
  years,
• 2:46
  and
• 2:47
  I
• 2:47
  decided
• 2:48
  that
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  needed
• 2:48
  a
• 2:49
  change
• 2:49
  from
• 2:49
  this
• 2:50
  particular
• 2:50
  printer
• 2:51
  who
• 2:51
  was
• 2:51
  in
• 2:51
  Surbiton,
• 2:52
  and
• 2:52
  I
• 2:53
  went
• 2:53
  to
• 2:53
  another
• 2:53
  printer's
• 2:54
  in
• 2:55
  Surbiton,
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  it
• 2:56
  was
• 2:57
  there
• 2:57
  that
• 2:57
  I
• 2:58
  met
• 2:58
  this
• 2:59
  person
• 2:59
  who.
• 3:00
  He
• 3:00
  was
• 3:00
  a
• 3:00
  printer,
• 3:01
  but
• 3:01
  he
• 3:01
  used
• 3:01
  to
• 3:02
  do
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  letter
• 3:03
  pressing,
• 3:04
  so
• 3:04
  he
• 3:04
  would
• 3:05
  make
• 3:05
  up
• 3:05
  little
• 3:06
  tiny
• 3:06
  pieces
• 3:07
  of
• 3:07
  lead
• 3:07
  with
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  letter
• 3:08
  on
• 3:08
  it
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  it
• 3:09
  would
• 3:09
  literally
• 3:10
  all
• 3:10
  go
• 3:10
  in
• 3:10
  place
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  then
• 3:11
  it
• 3:11
  would
• 3:11
  be
• 3:12
  onto
• 3:12
  a
• 3:12
  printing
• 3:13
  machine
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  it
• 3:13
  would
• 3:13
  be
• 3:14
  read
• 3:14
  by
• 3:14
  somebody.
• 3:16
  Anyway,
• 3:17
  I
• 3:17
  was
• 3:17
  fascinated
• 3:18
  by
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  way
• 3:18
  that
• 3:19
  he
• 3:19
  was
• 3:19
  so
• 3:19
  quick.
• 3:20
  He
• 3:20
  had
• 3:21
  a
• 3:21
  big
• 3:21
  box
• 3:21
  with
• 3:21
  all
• 3:21
  these
• 3:22
  letters
• 3:22
  in
• 3:22
  and
• 3:23
  numbers,
• 3:23
  and
• 3:24
  he
• 3:24
  knew
• 3:24
  exactly
• 3:25
  how
• 3:25
  many
• 3:25
  to
• 3:26
  take
• 3:26
  out
• 3:26
  and
• 3:27
  he
• 3:27
  was
• 3:27
  putting
• 3:27
  it
• 3:28
  all
• 3:28
  together.
• 3:28
  But
• 3:29
  one
• 3:29
  day
• 3:29
  his
• 3:29
  son
• 3:30
  came
• 3:30
  in
• 3:30
  to
• 3:31
  have
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  cup
• 3:31
  of
• 3:32
  tea.
• 3:32
  Really
• 3:32
  with
• 3:33
  him.
• 3:34
  And
• 3:34
  I
• 3:35
  was
• 3:35
  there
• 3:35
  and
• 3:35
  I
• 3:36
  said
• 3:36
  to
• 3:36
  Huey,
• 3:37
  his
• 3:37
  name
• 3:38
  was,
• 3:38
  I
• 3:39
  said,
• 3:40
  what
• 3:40
  does
• 3:40
  your
• 3:41
  son
• 3:41
  do
• 3:41
  for
• 3:41
  a
• 3:41
  living,
• 3:42
  Huey?
• 3:42
  And
• 3:42
  he
• 3:42
  said,
• 3:43
  oh,
• 3:44
  he
• 3:44
  works
• 3:44
  for
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  Thames
• 3:45
  Conservancy.
• 3:46
  I
• 3:46
  said,
• 3:46
  who
• 3:47
  are
• 3:47
  they?
• 3:48
  And
• 3:49
  he
• 3:50
  said,
• 3:50
  well,
• 3:50
  he
• 3:50
  drives
• 3:50
  a
• 3:51
  patrol
• 3:51
  boat
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  there's
• 3:52
  an
• 3:52
  inspector
• 3:53
  that
• 3:53
  goes
• 3:53
  up
• 3:53
  and
• 3:54
  down
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  river
• 3:54
  making
• 3:55
  sure
• 3:55
  that
• 3:55
  they've
• 3:55
  got
• 3:55
  a
• 3:55
  license
• 3:56
  on
• 3:56
  their
• 3:56
  boat
• 3:57
  and,
• 3:57
  and
• 3:57
  just
• 3:57
  making
• 3:58
  sure
• 3:58
  that
• 3:58
  everybody
• 3:58
  behaves
• 3:59
  themselves.
• 4:00
  I
• 4:00
  thought,
• 4:01
  what
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  wonderful
• 4:02
  job,
• 4:02
  because
• 4:03
  as
• 4:03
  a
• 4:03
  kid
• 4:04
  I
• 4:04
  lived
• 4:05
  in
• 4:05
  Kingston,
• 4:06
  fairly
• 4:06
  close
• 4:06
  to
• 4:07
  Teddington
• 4:07
  Lock,
• 4:08
  and
• 4:08
  I
• 4:08
  used
• 4:09
  to
• 4:09
  cycle
• 4:10
  down
• 4:10
  to
• 4:11
  Teddington
• 4:11
  and
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  used
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  watch
• 4:12
  the
• 4:13
  boats
• 4:13
  going
• 4:13
  through
• 4:13
  the
• 4:14
  lock
• 4:14
  and
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  thought,
• 4:15
  oh,
• 4:16
  wouldn't
• 4:16
  it
• 4:16
  be
• 4:16
  lovely
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  have
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  job
• 4:17
  like
• 4:17
  this
• 4:18
  on
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  river?
• 4:19
  So
• 4:20
  when
• 4:20
  I
• 4:20
  mentioned
• 4:21
  this
• 4:21
  to
• 4:22
  Huey
• 4:22
  at
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  print
• 4:23
  shop,
• 4:24
  he
• 4:24
  said,
• 4:24
  well,
• 4:25
  why
• 4:26
  don't
• 4:26
  I
• 4:26
  ask
• 4:26
  my
• 4:27
  son
• 4:27
  if.
• 4:27
  If
• 4:28
  they
• 4:28
  need
• 4:28
  any
• 4:28
  help
• 4:29
  on
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  weekends?
• 4:30
  Because
• 4:30
  they
• 4:30
  do
• 4:31
  employ
• 4:32
  weekend
• 4:32
  assistance.
• 4:34
  Which
• 4:34
  meant
• 4:34
  I
• 4:35
  could
• 4:35
  still
• 4:35
  do
• 4:35
  the
• 4:35
  five
• 4:36
  days
• 4:36
  a
• 4:36
  week
• 4:36
  at
• 4:36
  the
• 4:37
  printing,
• 4:38
  but
• 4:38
  then
• 4:38
  Saturdays
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  Sundays
• 4:39
  I
• 4:40
  could
• 4:40
  work
• 4:40
  on
• 4:40
  the
• 4:40
  lock.
• 4:41
  Anyway,
• 4:42
  he
• 4:42
  put
• 4:42
  my
• 4:42
  name
• 4:42
  forward
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  I
• 4:43
  got
• 4:43
  a
• 4:44
  phone
• 4:44
  call,
• 4:44
  could
• 4:45
  I
• 4:45
  turn
• 4:45
  up
• 4:45
  at
• 4:45
  Sunbury
• 4:46
  Lock,
• 4:46
  which
• 4:47
  I
• 4:47
  did.
• 4:48
  And,
• 4:49
  yeah,
• 4:49
  it
• 4:49
  was
• 4:50
  six
• 4:50
  pound
• 4:51
  a
• 4:51
  day,
• 4:51
  twopence
• 4:52
  a
• 4:52
  mile
• 4:52
  for
• 4:52
  mileage.
• 4:53
  And
• 4:54
  it
• 4:54
  was
• 4:54
  then
• 4:55
  that
• 4:55
  I
• 4:55
  thought,
• 4:56
  do
• 4:56
  you
• 4:56
  know
• 4:56
  what,
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  think
• 4:57
  I
• 4:57
  could
• 4:57
  get
• 4:57
  used
• 4:58
  to
• 4:58
  this.
• 4:58
  And
• 4:59
  I
• 4:59
  got
• 4:59
  really
• 4:59
  friendly
• 5:00
  with
• 5:00
  the.
• 5:00
  With
• 5:00
  the
• 5:01
  lock
• 5:01
  keeper
• 5:01
  there
• 5:01
  at
• 5:01
  Sunbury,
• 5:02
  Eric.
• 5:03
  Eric
• 5:04
  Eade.
• 5:05
  So
• 5:05
  anyway,
• 5:06
  one
• 5:06
  of
• 5:06
  the
• 5:07
  inspectors
• 5:08
  came
• 5:08
  along
• 5:08
  one
• 5:08
  day
• 5:09
  and
• 5:09
  said,
• 5:10
  Steve,
• 5:10
  there's
• 5:10
  a
• 5:10
  job
• 5:11
  come
• 5:11
  up,
• 5:11
  but
• 5:12
  it's
• 5:12
  possibly
• 5:13
  not
• 5:13
  what
• 5:13
  you
• 5:13
  want.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:14
  I
• 5:15
  said,
• 5:15
  well,
• 5:15
  what's
• 5:15
  that?
• 5:16
  So
• 5:16
  they
• 5:16
  said,
• 5:16
  well,
• 5:17
  it's
• 5:17
  mainly
• 5:18
  lock
• 5:18
  keeping,
• 5:19
  but
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  potential
• 5:21
  for
• 5:21
  the
• 5:21
  occasional
• 5:22
  trip
• 5:23
  on
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  patrol
• 5:24
  boat.
• 5:25
  And
• 5:25
  I
• 5:25
  thought,
• 5:26
  no,
• 5:27
  I
• 5:28
  don't
• 5:28
  want
• 5:28
  that.
• 5:28
  I'd
• 5:29
  rather
• 5:29
  just
• 5:29
  be
• 5:30
  a
• 5:30
  boatman
• 5:30
  driving
• 5:31
  the
• 5:31
  patrol
• 5:31
  boat
• 5:32
  anyway.
• 5:32
  He
• 5:33
  said,
• 5:33
  well,
• 5:33
  look,
• 5:34
  go
• 5:34
  home,
• 5:34
  talk
• 5:34
  to
• 5:35
  your
• 5:35
  mum
• 5:35
  and
• 5:35
  dad
• 5:35
  and
• 5:36
  see
• 5:36
  what
• 5:36
  they
• 5:36
  say.
• 5:37
  So
• 5:37
  anyway,
• 5:38
  how
• 5:38
  old
• 5:38
  was
• 5:38
  I?
• 5:38
  18,
• 5:39
  19
• 5:40
  at
• 5:40
  the
• 5:40
  time.
• 5:40
  I
• 5:41
  went
• 5:41
  home
• 5:41
  and
• 5:41
  I
• 5:41
  said
• 5:42
  to
• 5:42
  my
• 5:42
  dad,
• 5:43
  dad,
• 5:43
  they've
• 5:43
  offered
• 5:43
  me
• 5:44
  a
• 5:44
  job.
• 5:44
  I
• 5:44
  don't
• 5:45
  really
• 5:45
  want
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  do
• 5:45
  it,
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  want
• 5:47
  to
• 5:47
  be
• 5:47
  a
• 5:47
  boatman.
• 5:48
  So
• 5:48
  he
• 5:48
  said,
• 5:49
  do
• 5:49
  you
• 5:50
  get
• 5:50
  a
• 5:50
  pension?
• 5:51
  So
• 5:51
  I
• 5:51
  said,
• 5:52
  yeah,
• 5:53
  I
• 5:53
  think
• 5:53
  so.
• 5:53
  Could
• 5:54
  you
• 5:54
  get
• 5:54
  a
• 5:54
  house?
• 5:55
  So
• 5:55
  I
• 5:55
  said,
• 5:56
  yeah,
• 5:56
  I
• 5:56
  suppose
• 5:56
  eventually,
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  know,
• 5:58
  I
• 5:58
  could
• 5:58
  become
• 5:58
  a
• 5:59
  resident
• 5:59
  lock
• 6:00
  keeper.
• 6:00
  He
• 6:00
  said,
• 6:01
  do
• 6:01
  you
• 6:01
  get
• 6:01
  holiday
• 6:02
  pay?
• 6:02
  Do
• 6:03
  you
• 6:03
  get
• 6:03
  sick
• 6:03
  pay?
• 6:04
  I
• 6:04
  said,
• 6:05
  well,
• 6:05
  I.
• 6:06
  Yeah,
• 6:06
  I
• 6:06
  suppose
• 6:07
  so.
• 6:07
  He
• 6:08
  said,
• 6:08
  well
• 6:08
  you
• 6:08
  go
• 6:09
  back
• 6:09
  tomorrow
• 6:09
  and
• 6:09
  you
• 6:10
  tell
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  inspector
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  you
• 6:11
  want
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  job!
• 6:12
  So
• 6:12
  I
• 6:12
  thought,
• 6:13
  oh,
• 6:13
  all
• 6:13
  right
• 6:13
  then.
• 6:14
  And
• 6:14
  I
• 6:14
  did
• 6:15
  my
• 6:15
  first
• 6:16
  day.
• 6:16
  I
• 6:16
  was
• 6:16
  put
• 6:16
  with
• 6:17
  Eric
• 6:17
  at
• 6:18
  Sunbury
• 6:18
  just
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  start
• 6:20
  learning
• 6:20
  it.
• 6:21
  And
• 6:21
  it
• 6:22
  was
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  beautiful
• 6:23
  summer's
• 6:23
  morning.
• 6:24
  I
• 6:24
  remember
• 6:24
  turning
• 6:25
  up
• 6:25
  at
• 6:25
  9
• 6:25
  o'
• 6:26
  clock
• 6:26
  with
• 6:27
  him
• 6:27
  and
• 6:28
  his
• 6:28
  wife
• 6:28
  brought
• 6:29
  out
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  cup
• 6:29
  of
• 6:29
  tea
• 6:29
  for
• 6:30
  us
• 6:30
  both
• 6:30
  and
• 6:31
  we
• 6:31
  sat
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  drank
• 6:31
  that.
• 6:32
  And
• 6:32
  then
• 6:32
  he
• 6:32
  said,
• 6:32
  oh,
• 6:33
  he
• 6:33
  said,
• 6:33
  I
• 6:33
  think
• 6:33
  we'll
• 6:33
  clean
• 6:34
  the
• 6:34
  steps
• 6:34
  today,
• 6:34
  Steve.
• 6:35
  He
• 6:35
  said,
• 6:35
  you
• 6:35
  can
• 6:36
  help
• 6:36
  me.
• 6:37
  So
• 6:37
  he
• 6:38
  said,
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  want
• 6:38
  you
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  throw
• 6:39
  that
• 6:39
  bucket
• 6:39
  in,
• 6:40
  don't
• 6:41
  let
• 6:41
  go
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  line
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  pull
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  water
• 6:43
  out.
• 6:44
  He
• 6:44
  said,
• 6:44
  and
• 6:44
  when
• 6:44
  I
• 6:45
  scrub
• 6:45
  him,
• 6:45
  he
• 6:45
  said,
• 6:45
  you
• 6:46
  throw
• 6:46
  the
• 6:46
  water
• 6:46
  over
• 6:46
  it.
• 6:47
  And
• 6:47
  I
• 6:47
  can
• 6:48
  remember
• 6:48
  doing
• 6:48
  that.
• 6:49
  And
• 6:49
  I'm
• 6:49
  thinking,
• 6:50
  I'm
• 6:50
  getting
• 6:51
  paid
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  do
• 6:51
  this.
• 6:52
  I
• 6:52
  am
• 6:52
  getting
• 6:53
  paid
• 6:53
  to
• 6:54
  do
• 6:54
  this.
• 6:54
  I
• 6:54
  couldn't
• 6:55
  believe
• 6:55
  it
• 6:56
  from
• 6:56
  working
• 6:56
  in
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  factory,
• 6:57
  working
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  an
• 6:58
  office
• 6:58
  with
• 6:59
  other
• 6:59
  machines
• 7:00
  going
• 7:00
  all
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  time,
• 7:01
  and
• 7:01
  then
• 7:02
  suddenly
• 7:03
  I'm
• 7:03
  out
• 7:03
  like
• 7:03
  this
• 7:04
  and
• 7:04
  I'm
• 7:04
  thinking,
• 7:05
  oh,
• 7:05
  God,
• 7:06
  I
• 7:06
  had
• 7:06
  to
• 7:06
  pinch
• 7:07
  myself.
• 7:08
  That
• 7:08
  was
• 7:08
  July
• 7:08
  1975.
• 7:10
  From
• 7:10
  there,
• 7:10
  Steve
• 7:11
  became
• 7:11
  a
• 7:11
  floating
• 7:12
  relief
• 7:12
  keeper,
• 7:13
  covering
• 7:13
  locks
• 7:13
  from
• 7:14
  Teddington
• 7:14
  up
• 7:14
  to
• 7:15
  Penton
• 7:15
  Hook.
• 7:16
  And
• 7:16
  back
• 7:16
  then,
• 7:17
  things
• 7:17
  were
• 7:17
  busy.
• 7:18
  When
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  first
• 7:19
  started,
• 7:19
  there
• 7:20
  were
• 7:20
  hire
• 7:20
  fleets
• 7:21
  everywhere.
• 7:22
  Between
• 7:22
  this
• 7:23
  reach
• 7:23
  and
• 7:23
  Teddington
• 7:24
  there
• 7:24
  was
• 7:24
  probably
• 7:24
  a
• 7:25
  dozen
• 7:25
  hire
• 7:26
  fleets
• 7:26
  and
• 7:27
  we
• 7:27
  were
• 7:28
  busy.
• 7:28
  I
• 7:28
  mean,
• 7:28
  I
• 7:29
  can
• 7:29
  remember
• 7:29
  when
• 7:29
  I
• 7:29
  was
• 7:30
  a
• 7:30
  relief,
• 7:30
  having
• 7:31
  to
• 7:31
  come
• 7:31
  here
• 7:32
  to
• 7:32
  help
• 7:33
  the
• 7:33
  lock
• 7:33
  keeper
• 7:33
  here
• 7:34
  at
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  time.
• 7:34
  And
• 7:35
  at
• 7:35
  9
• 7:35
  o'
• 7:35
  clock
• 7:36
  in
• 7:36
  the
• 7:36
  morning
• 7:36
  on
• 7:37
  a
• 7:37
  Sunday,
• 7:38
  there
• 7:38
  would
• 7:38
  be
• 7:39
  enough
• 7:39
  boats
• 7:40
  waiting
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  get
• 7:40
  through
• 7:41
  this
• 7:41
  lock,
• 7:42
  waiting
• 7:42
  down
• 7:43
  there
• 7:43
  on
• 7:43
  the
• 7:43
  lay
• 7:43
  by.
• 7:44
  You
• 7:44
  could
• 7:44
  put
• 7:45
  them
• 7:45
  side
• 7:45
  by
• 7:45
  side
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  you
• 7:46
  can
• 7:46
  walk
• 7:46
  from
• 7:47
  Shepperton
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  Weybridge
• 7:48
  on
• 7:48
  them.
• 7:48
  And
• 7:48
  that
• 7:49
  was
• 7:49
  at
• 7:49
  9
• 7:49
  o'
• 7:49
  clock
• 7:49
  in
• 7:50
  the
• 7:50
  morning.
• 7:51
  Now,
• 7:51
  bearing
• 7:51
  in
• 7:52
  mind
• 7:52
  the
• 7:52
  hire
• 7:53
  boats
• 7:53
  were
• 7:53
  quite
• 7:53
  big
• 7:54
  boats
• 7:54
  then,
• 7:54
  because
• 7:55
  there
• 7:55
  might
• 7:55
  be
• 7:55
  six,
• 7:56
  seven
• 7:56
  people
• 7:56
  on
• 7:57
  board,
• 7:57
  so
• 7:57
  sleeping
• 7:58
  on
• 7:58
  them.
• 7:58
  So
• 7:59
  they
• 7:59
  were
• 7:59
  quite.
• 7:59
  They
• 7:59
  had
• 7:59
  three
• 8:00
  bedrooms,
• 8:00
  probably,
• 8:01
  so
• 8:01
  they
• 8:01
  were
• 8:01
  quite
• 8:01
  big
• 8:02
  boats
• 8:02
  with
• 8:02
  this
• 8:02
  lock
• 8:03
  being
• 8:03
  one
• 8:03
  of
• 8:03
  the
• 8:03
  smallest.
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  this
• 8:05
  is
• 8:05
  really
• 8:05
  classed
• 8:06
  as
• 8:06
  a
• 8:06
  bottleneck,
• 8:06
  really,
• 8:07
  because
• 8:08
  this
• 8:08
  is
• 8:09
  smaller
• 8:10
  than
• 8:10
  Sunbury
• 8:11
  Lock,
• 8:11
  Teddington
• 8:11
  Lock,
• 8:12
  Chertsey
• 8:12
  Lock,
• 8:13
  Penton
• 8:13
  Hook
• 8:13
  Lock,
• 8:14
  people
• 8:14
  got
• 8:14
  snagged
• 8:15
  here.
• 8:16
  And,
• 8:17
  yeah,
• 8:17
  these
• 8:17
  boats
• 8:17
  that
• 8:18
  were
• 8:18
  waiting
• 8:18
  at
• 8:18
  9
• 8:18
  o'
• 8:19
  clock
• 8:19
  in
• 8:19
  the
• 8:19
  morning
• 8:19
  may
• 8:20
  not
• 8:20
  have
• 8:20
  even
• 8:20
  got
• 8:20
  through
• 8:21
  this
• 8:21
  lock
• 8:22
  on
• 8:22
  that
• 8:22
  Sunday
• 8:22
  till
• 8:23
  midday,
• 8:24
  it
• 8:25
  was
• 8:25
  that
• 8:25
  busy.
• 8:26
  And
• 8:26
  because
• 8:27
  Sunbury
• 8:27
  Lock
• 8:28
  had
• 8:28
  two
• 8:28
  locks.
• 8:29
  So
• 8:29
  if
• 8:29
  he
• 8:30
  was
• 8:30
  working
• 8:30
  two
• 8:31
  locks,
• 8:32
  not
• 8:32
  only
• 8:32
  was
• 8:32
  I
• 8:32
  getting
• 8:33
  those
• 8:33
  boats
• 8:34
  from
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  lock
• 8:34
  I
• 8:35
  was
• 8:35
  getting
• 8:35
  from
• 8:35
  Shepperton
• 8:36
  Marina,
• 8:37
  I
• 8:37
  was
• 8:37
  getting
• 8:38
  them
• 8:38
  from
• 8:38
  Walton
• 8:38
  Marina.
• 8:39
  So
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  can
• 8:40
  imagine.
• 8:41
  Yeah,
• 8:42
  you
• 8:42
  can
• 8:42
  imagine.
• 8:43
  The
• 8:43
  job
• 8:44
  wasn't
• 8:44
  just
• 8:44
  about
• 8:45
  traffic
• 8:45
  on
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  river,
• 8:46
  though.
• 8:46
  There
• 8:46
  was
• 8:46
  also
• 8:46
  discipline
• 8:47
  and
• 8:48
  hierarchy
• 8:49
  back
• 8:49
  then.
• 8:49
  In
• 8:49
  1975,
• 8:50
  we
• 8:50
  had
• 8:51
  a
• 8:51
  hierarchy
• 8:52
  of
• 8:53
  inspectors,
• 8:54
  so
• 8:55
  there
• 8:55
  was
• 8:55
  a
• 8:56
  Deputy
• 8:56
  Inspector
• 8:57
  that
• 8:57
  was
• 8:57
  in
• 8:57
  charge
• 8:58
  of
• 8:58
  an
• 8:58
  area
• 8:59
  and
• 8:59
  then
• 8:59
  there
• 8:59
  was
• 9:00
  a
• 9:00
  senior
• 9:00
  inspector
• 9:01
  who
• 9:01
  was
• 9:01
  in
• 9:01
  charge
• 9:02
  of
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  deputy,
• 9:02
  but
• 9:03
  also
• 9:03
  in
• 9:03
  charge
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  all
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  lock
• 9:04
  staff.
• 9:05
  But
• 9:05
  above
• 9:06
  him
• 9:06
  would
• 9:06
  be
• 9:06
  a
• 9:07
  Chief
• 9:07
  Inspector.
• 9:08
  And
• 9:08
  the
• 9:09
  Chief
• 9:09
  Inspector,
• 9:10
  he
• 9:10
  had
• 9:10
  his
• 9:11
  own
• 9:11
  patrol
• 9:12
  boat,
• 9:12
  which
• 9:12
  was
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  lovely
• 9:14
  60
• 9:14
  foot.
• 9:15
  It
• 9:15
  was
• 9:15
  the
• 9:16
  sort
• 9:16
  of
• 9:16
  boat
• 9:16
  which
• 9:17
  the
• 9:17
  Queen
• 9:17
  would
• 9:17
  go
• 9:18
  on
• 9:18
  if
• 9:18
  ever
• 9:19
  she
• 9:19
  came
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  the
• 9:20
  River
• 9:20
  Thames,
• 9:21
  which
• 9:21
  she
• 9:21
  did,
• 9:22
  she
• 9:22
  would
• 9:23
  be
• 9:23
  on
• 9:23
  the
• 9:23
  Windrush.
• 9:24
  So
• 9:24
  every
• 9:25
  weekend,
• 9:25
  or
• 9:25
  nearly
• 9:26
  every
• 9:26
  weekend,
• 9:26
  the
• 9:27
  Chief
• 9:27
  Inspector
• 9:27
  would
• 9:28
  come
• 9:28
  down
• 9:28
  from
• 9:29
  his
• 9:29
  office
• 9:30
  was
• 9:30
  at
• 9:30
  Reading
• 9:31
  by
• 9:31
  Caversham
• 9:32
  Lock,
• 9:32
  and
• 9:33
  they
• 9:33
  would
• 9:34
  come
• 9:34
  down
• 9:35
  on
• 9:35
  the
• 9:35
  Windrush.
• 9:36
  And
• 9:36
  that
• 9:37
  was
• 9:37
  a
• 9:37
  sort
• 9:37
  of
• 9:37
  inspection,
• 9:38
  really,
• 9:38
  to
• 9:39
  make
• 9:39
  sure
• 9:40
  that
• 9:40
  you're
• 9:40
  doing
• 9:40
  your
• 9:40
  job
• 9:41
  properly,
• 9:41
  you
• 9:41
  know.
• 9:42
  And
• 9:42
  it
• 9:42
  was
• 9:43
  a
• 9:43
  flying
• 9:43
  visit,
• 9:44
  but
• 9:44
  it
• 9:44
  was
• 9:44
  enough
• 9:45
  to
• 9:45
  make
• 9:45
  sure
• 9:45
  that
• 9:46
  the
• 9:46
  toilets
• 9:46
  were
• 9:47
  clean
• 9:47
  and
• 9:47
  the
• 9:48
  paths
• 9:48
  were
• 9:48
  swept
• 9:49
  and
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  grass
• 9:50
  was
• 9:50
  cut.
• 9:50
  And
• 9:51
  Steve
• 9:51
  has
• 9:51
  always
• 9:51
  looked
• 9:52
  after
• 9:52
  the
• 9:52
  lock
• 9:52
  as
• 9:53
  much
• 9:53
  as
• 9:53
  the
• 9:53
  river.
• 11:04
  There's
• 11:05
  an
• 11:05
  awful
• 11:05
  lot
• 11:05
  of
• 11:05
  grass
• 11:06
  to
• 11:06
  cut,
• 11:06
  or
• 11:06
  there's
• 11:07
  hedges
• 11:07
  to
• 11:08
  cut,
• 11:08
  or
• 11:08
  there's
• 11:09
  sweeping
• 11:10
  up
• 11:10
  to
• 11:10
  do.
• 11:11
  So
• 11:11
  I've
• 11:11
  got
• 11:12
  volunteers
• 11:12
  that
• 11:13
  help
• 11:13
  me.
• 11:13
  Without
• 11:14
  them,
• 11:15
  I
• 11:15
  couldn't
• 11:15
  do
• 11:15
  what
• 11:16
  I
• 11:16
  do.
• 11:17
  So
• 11:17
  I'm
• 11:17
  really
• 11:17
  fortunate
• 11:18
  in
• 11:19
  as
• 11:19
  much
• 11:19
  that
• 11:19
  I've
• 11:20
  got
• 11:20
  volunteer
• 11:21
  for
• 11:21
  every
• 11:21
  day
• 11:21
  of
• 11:21
  the
• 11:22
  week
• 11:22
  and
• 11:23
  they
• 11:23
  come
• 11:23
  in
• 11:23
  about,
• 11:24
  I
• 11:24
  don't
• 11:24
  know,
• 11:24
  half
• 11:24
  past
• 11:25
  nine,
• 11:25
  something
• 11:25
  like
• 11:25
  that,
• 11:26
  we
• 11:26
  have
• 11:26
  a
• 11:26
  cup
• 11:27
  of
• 11:27
  tea,
• 11:27
  we
• 11:27
  have
• 11:28
  a
• 11:28
  little
• 11:28
  chat
• 11:28
  and
• 11:28
  I
• 11:29
  say,
• 11:29
  right,
• 11:30
  you
• 11:30
  happy
• 11:31
  running
• 11:31
  the
• 11:31
  lock?
• 11:31
  And
• 11:32
  they
• 11:32
  say,
• 11:32
  yep.
• 11:32
  And
• 11:33
  I
• 11:33
  say,
• 11:33
  well,
• 11:33
  I'm
• 11:33
  going
• 11:33
  to
• 11:34
  get
• 11:34
  the
• 11:34
  lawnmower
• 11:34
  out
• 11:35
  and
• 11:35
  that's
• 11:36
  it,
• 11:36
  I'm
• 11:36
  off.
• 11:37
  And
• 11:37
  that
• 11:37
  will
• 11:37
  take
• 11:38
  me
• 11:38
  till
• 11:38
  lunchtime
• 11:40
  and
• 11:40
  then
• 11:41
  I
• 11:41
  will
• 11:41
  be
• 11:41
  doing
• 11:42
  that
• 11:43
  every
• 11:44
  day
• 11:44
  of
• 11:44
  the
• 11:45
  week,
• 11:45
  apart
• 11:45
  from
• 11:45
  a
• 11:45
  weekend
• 11:46
  when
• 11:46
  I've
• 11:47
  got
• 11:47
  my
• 11:47
  best
• 11:47
  bib
• 11:47
  and
• 11:48
  tucker
• 11:48
  on.
• 11:49
  But
• 11:49
  during
• 11:49
  the
• 11:49
  week,
• 11:50
  Monday
• 11:50
  to
• 11:50
  Friday,
• 11:51
  I
• 11:51
  will
• 11:51
  be
• 11:52
  doing
• 11:52
  something.
• 11:53
  If
• 11:53
  it's
• 11:53
  strimming,
• 11:54
  hedge
• 11:55
  cutting,
• 11:56
  cutting
• 11:56
  grass,
• 11:57
  cleaning
• 11:58
  the
• 11:58
  steps,
• 11:59
  there
• 11:59
  is
• 11:59
  something
• 12:00
  for
• 12:00
  me
• 12:00
  to
• 12:00
  do
• 12:01
  every
• 12:01
  day.
• 12:01
  I
• 12:01
  want
• 12:02
  to
• 12:02
  see
• 12:02
  it
• 12:02
  looking
• 12:03
  nice
• 12:03
  and
• 12:04
  I
• 12:04
  want
• 12:04
  the
• 12:04
  public
• 12:05
  to
• 12:06
  see
• 12:06
  it
• 12:06
  looking
• 12:07
  nice
• 12:07
  when
• 12:07
  they
• 12:07
  come
• 12:08
  here,
• 12:08
  because
• 12:08
  it
• 12:08
  would
• 12:09
  be
• 12:09
  very
• 12:09
  easy
• 12:09
  for
• 12:10
  me
• 12:10
  to
• 12:10
  say,
• 12:11
  I
• 12:11
  don't
• 12:11
  feel
• 12:12
  like
• 12:12
  cutting
• 12:12
  that
• 12:12
  today,
• 12:12
  or
• 12:13
  I
• 12:13
  think
• 12:14
  I'll
• 12:14
  let
• 12:14
  it
• 12:14
  go
• 12:14
  wild,
• 12:15
  or
• 12:16
  I
• 12:16
  like
• 12:17
  to
• 12:17
  see
• 12:17
  it
• 12:18
  cut
• 12:18
  nice
• 12:19
  and
• 12:19
  where
• 12:20
  other
• 12:20
  people
• 12:21
  can
• 12:21
  come
• 12:21
  and
• 12:22
  enjoy
• 11:12
  it.
• 12:22
  The
• 12:22
  public
• 12:23
  enjoys
• 12:23
  something
• 12:24
  else
• 12:24
  too.
• 12:24
  The
• 12:25
  Lockside
• 12:25
  Tea
• 12:26
  Shop,
• 12:26
  which
• 12:27
  Steve
• 12:27
  and
• 12:27
  his
• 12:27
  wife
• 12:28
  started
• 12:28
  back
• 12:28
  in
• 12:28
  1989,
• 12:30
  that.
• 12:30
  Has
• 12:30
  brought
• 12:30
  an
• 12:30
  awful
• 12:31
  lot
• 12:31
  of
• 12:31
  people
• 12:32
  to
• 12:32
  this
• 12:32
  river.
• 12:33
  But
• 12:34
  having
• 12:34
  said
• 12:34
  that,
• 12:35
  Gareth,
• 12:35
  I
• 12:36
  can
• 12:36
  tell
• 12:36
  you
• 12:36
  now,
• 12:37
  there
• 12:37
  are
• 12:37
  people
• 12:37
  that
• 12:38
  live
• 12:38
  in
• 12:38
  Shepperton,
• 12:38
  that
• 12:39
  don't
• 12:39
  even
• 12:39
  know
• 12:39
  that
• 12:40
  Shepperton
• 12:40
  Lock
• 12:40
  exists.
• 12:41
  They'd
• 12:42
  never
• 12:42
  been
• 12:42
  here
• 12:42
  before.
• 12:43
  And
• 12:44
  I've,
• 12:44
  you
• 12:44
  know.
• 12:45
  Oh,
• 12:45
  they.
• 12:46
  They
• 12:46
  come
• 12:46
  to
• 12:46
  the
• 12:46
  tea
• 12:47
  shop.
• 12:47
  Oh,
• 12:48
  they
• 12:48
  say,
• 12:48
  oh,
• 12:48
  this
• 12:49
  is
• 12:49
  lovely.
• 12:50
  Oh,
• 12:50
  we
• 12:50
  can
• 12:50
  have
• 12:51
  a
• 12:51
  cup
• 12:51
  of
• 12:51
  tea.
• 12:51
  I
• 12:51
  say,
• 12:51
  oh,
• 12:52
  where
• 12:52
  do
• 12:52
  you
• 12:52
  live,
• 12:52
  then?
• 12:52
  Oh,
• 12:53
  we
• 12:53
  live
• 12:53
  in
• 12:53
  Shepperton.
• 12:54
  You've
• 12:54
  never
• 12:54
  been?
• 12:55
  No.
• 12:55
  I
• 12:55
  didn't
• 12:55
  know
• 12:56
  this
• 12:56
  was
• 12:56
  here.
• 12:57
  So,
• 12:58
  you
• 12:58
  know,
• 12:59
  hopefully
• 12:59
  having
• 13:00
  the
• 13:00
  tea
• 13:00
  shop,
• 13:00
  it
• 13:01
  certainly
• 13:01
  has
• 13:02
  brought
• 13:02
  an
• 13:02
  awful
• 13:02
  lot
• 13:03
  of
• 13:03
  people
• 13:03
  down
• 13:04
  to
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  river.
• 13:05
  Of
• 13:05
  course,
• 13:05
  50
• 13:06
  years
• 13:06
  at
• 13:06
  Shepperton
• 13:07
  Lock
• 13:07
  means
• 13:08
  Steve
• 13:08
  has
• 13:08
  seen
• 13:08
  his
• 13:09
  fair
• 13:09
  share
• 13:09
  of
• 13:09
  characters.
• 13:10
  I
• 13:10
  looked
• 13:11
  downstream
• 13:12
  and
• 13:12
  I
• 13:12
  could
• 13:12
  see
• 13:12
  that
• 13:13
  this
• 13:13
  hire
• 13:13
  boat
• 13:14
  was
• 13:14
  coming
• 13:14
  towards
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  lock,
• 13:16
  but
• 13:17
  he
• 13:17
  was
• 13:18
  going
• 13:18
  in
• 13:18
  a
• 13:18
  sort
• 13:18
  of
• 13:18
  a
• 13:18
  zigzag
• 13:19
  motion
• 13:19
  because
• 13:21
  a
• 13:21
  lot
• 13:21
  of
• 13:21
  people
• 13:21
  overcorrect
• 13:22
  when
• 13:23
  they're
• 13:23
  driving.
• 13:24
  Anyway,
• 13:24
  I
• 13:24
  managed
• 13:25
  to.
• 13:25
  By
• 13:25
  the
• 13:26
  time
• 13:26
  he
• 13:26
  got
• 13:26
  here,
• 13:26
  I
• 13:26
  managed
• 13:27
  to
• 13:27
  get
• 13:27
  the
• 13:27
  gates.
• 13:27
  The
• 13:27
  lock.
• 13:28
  Gates
• 13:28
  open,
• 13:29
  so
• 13:29
  he
• 13:29
  was
• 13:29
  able
• 13:29
  to
• 13:30
  come
• 13:30
  straight
• 13:30
  in.
• 13:30
  But
• 13:31
  when
• 13:31
  he
• 13:31
  did
• 13:31
  come
• 13:32
  in,
• 13:32
  he
• 13:32
  bounced
• 13:33
  it
• 13:33
  off
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  one
• 13:33
  side
• 13:34
  of
• 13:34
  the
• 13:34
  lock
• 13:35
  and
• 13:35
  then
• 13:35
  he
• 13:35
  bounced
• 13:36
  it
• 13:36
  onto
• 13:36
  the
• 13:36
  other
• 13:36
  side
• 13:36
  of
• 13:37
  the
• 13:37
  lock
• 13:38
  and
• 13:38
  then
• 13:38
  he
• 13:38
  bounced
• 13:39
  it
• 13:39
  onto
• 13:39
  the
• 13:39
  other.
• 13:39
  And
• 13:40
  then
• 13:40
  I
• 13:40
  thought,
• 13:40
  oh,
• 13:40
  I
• 13:41
  better
• 13:41
  go
• 13:41
  down
• 13:41
  and
• 13:41
  give
• 13:41
  this
• 13:42
  one
• 13:42
  a
• 13:42
  hand.
• 13:42
  So
• 13:42
  I
• 13:43
  went
• 13:43
  down
• 13:44
  and
• 13:45
  I
• 13:45
  took
• 13:46
  their
• 13:46
  ropes
• 13:46
  from
• 13:46
  them
• 13:47
  and
• 13:48
  this
• 13:48
  guy
• 13:48
  got
• 13:48
  out
• 13:49
  with
• 13:49
  a.
• 13:49
  With
• 13:49
  a
• 13:50
  baseball
• 13:50
  cap
• 13:51
  on
• 13:51
  and
• 13:51
  I
• 13:52
  said,
• 13:52
  oh,
• 13:52
  so
• 13:52
  we
• 13:52
  call
• 13:52
  that
• 13:53
  in
• 13:53
  off
• 13:53
  the
• 13:53
  cushion.
• 13:55
  And
• 13:55
  it
• 13:55
  was
• 13:55
  Jimmy
• 13:56
  White.
• 13:59
  So
• 14:00
  how
• 14:00
  did
• 14:00
  I
• 14:00
  feel?
• 14:01
  Well,
• 14:02
  I
• 14:02
  went,
• 14:03
  oh,
• 14:03
  my.
• 14:04
  Oh,
• 14:04
  I'm
• 14:04
  sorry.
• 14:06
  So
• 14:07
  that
• 14:07
  was
• 14:07
  probably
• 14:08
  one
• 14:08
  of
• 14:08
  the
• 14:08
  funniest
• 14:09
  things.
• 14:09
  And
• 14:09
  there
• 14:09
  still
• 14:10
  are.
• 14:11
  Timothy
• 14:12
  Spall
• 14:12
  comes
• 14:13
  through
• 14:13
  quite
• 14:13
  a
• 14:13
  lot
• 14:13
  on
• 14:14
  his
• 14:14
  barge.
• 14:14
  He.
• 14:15
  He
• 14:15
  made
• 14:15
  a
• 14:15
  documentary
• 14:16
  about
• 14:16
  traveling
• 14:17
  all
• 14:17
  of
• 14:18
  European
• 14:19
  waterways.
• 14:20
  Paul
• 14:21
  McCartney
• 14:22
  with
• 14:22
  Linda
• 14:23
  when
• 14:23
  she
• 14:23
  was
• 14:24
  alive,
• 14:24
  he
• 14:25
  came
• 14:25
  through.
• 14:26
  When
• 14:26
  he
• 14:26
  was
• 14:26
  playing
• 14:27
  with
• 14:27
  Wings,
• 14:28
  there
• 14:28
  was
• 14:29
  a
• 14:29
  guitarist
• 14:30
  who
• 14:30
  used
• 14:31
  to
• 14:31
  play,
• 14:31
  I
• 14:31
  think
• 14:32
  he
• 14:32
  was
• 14:32
  in
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  Small
• 14:32
  Faces
• 14:33
  called
• 14:33
  Denny
• 14:33
  Lane,
• 14:34
  and
• 14:34
  he
• 14:35
  was
• 14:35
  in
• 14:35
  wings.
• 14:35
  When
• 14:36
  Paul
• 14:36
  McCartney
• 14:37
  first
• 14:37
  formed
• 14:38
  wings,
• 14:39
  and
• 14:39
  Denny
• 14:39
  Lane
• 14:40
  used
• 14:40
  to
• 14:40
  live
• 14:40
  at
• 14:40
  Laleham,
• 14:41
  actually,
• 14:41
  and
• 14:42
  he
• 14:42
  had.
• 14:42
  He
• 14:43
  had
• 14:43
  a
• 14:43
  boat.
• 14:43
  I've
• 14:43
  seen
• 14:44
  Pete
• 14:44
  Townsend,
• 14:45
  he
• 14:46
  used
• 14:46
  to
• 14:46
  have
• 14:46
  a
• 14:46
  lovely
• 14:47
  boat.
• 14:47
  And
• 14:47
  he.
• 14:47
  When
• 14:48
  he
• 14:48
  lived
• 14:48
  down
• 14:48
  at
• 14:49
  Twickenham
• 14:49
  or
• 14:50
  Chiswick,
• 14:50
  I'm
• 14:50
  not
• 14:50
  sure,
• 14:51
  but
• 14:51
  he
• 14:51
  used
• 14:52
  to
• 14:52
  come
• 14:52
  through
• 14:52
  quite
• 14:52
  a
• 14:52
  lot.
• 14:53
  Yeah.
• 14:54
  So.
• 14:55
  Oh,
• 14:55
  I
• 14:55
  can
• 14:56
  remember
• 14:56
  the
• 14:56
  lock
• 14:57
  had
• 14:57
  broken
• 14:57
  down.
• 14:57
  It
• 14:58
  was
• 14:58
  in
• 14:58
  the
• 14:58
  middle
• 14:58
  of
• 14:58
  summer,
• 14:59
  the
• 14:59
  gates
• 14:59
  were
• 15:00
  shut
• 15:00
  and
• 15:01
  hire
• 15:01
  boat.
• 15:02
  I
• 15:02
  could
• 15:02
  see
• 15:02
  a
• 15:02
  hire
• 15:02
  boat
• 15:02
  had
• 15:03
  just
• 15:03
  moored
• 15:03
  up,
• 15:03
  obviously
• 15:04
  wanted
• 15:04
  to
• 15:05
  come
• 15:05
  through.
• 15:06
  And
• 15:06
  I
• 15:06
  was
• 15:07
  standing
• 15:07
  where
• 15:07
  we're
• 15:07
  standing
• 15:08
  now
• 15:08
  and
• 15:09
  this
• 15:09
  figure
• 15:10
  started
• 15:10
  to
• 15:10
  walk
• 15:10
  towards
• 15:11
  me
• 15:12
  and
• 15:12
  I
• 15:12
  thought,
• 15:13
  that
• 15:13
  is.
• 15:13
  That's
• 15:14
  Bobby
• 15:14
  Moore.
• 15:14
  So,
• 15:15
  for
• 15:15
  anyone
• 15:15
  who
• 15:15
  doesn't
• 15:16
  know,
• 15:16
  Bobby
• 15:16
  Moore
• 15:16
  was
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  captain
• 15:17
  of
• 15:17
  the
• 15:17
  England
• 15:18
  national
• 15:18
  team
• 15:19
  that
• 15:19
  won
• 15:20
  the
• 15:20
  1966
• 15:21
  Footy
• 15:22
  World
• 15:22
  Cup.
• 15:23
  And
• 15:23
  I'm
• 15:23
  not
• 15:23
  kidding
• 15:24
  you,
• 15:24
  he
• 15:25
  had.
• 15:25
  He
• 15:25
  had
• 15:26
  a
• 15:26
  pair
• 15:26
  of
• 15:26
  shorts
• 15:26
  on
• 15:27
  and
• 15:27
  he
• 15:27
  had
• 15:27
  the
• 15:28
  biggest
• 15:29
  pair
• 15:29
  of
• 15:29
  legs
• 15:30
  I
• 15:30
  have
• 15:30
  ever
• 15:31
  seen
• 15:31
  in
• 15:31
  my
• 15:31
  life.
• 15:32
  And
• 15:32
  he
• 15:32
  said,
• 15:33
  lock
• 15:33
  keeper,
• 15:33
  can
• 15:34
  we
• 15:34
  come
• 15:34
  through
• 15:34
  this
• 15:34
  lock?
• 15:34
  I
• 15:34
  said,
• 15:35
  I'm
• 15:35
  awfully
• 15:36
  sorry,
• 15:36
  Bobby,
• 15:36
  I
• 15:36
  said,
• 15:37
  but
• 15:37
  the
• 15:37
  lock's
• 15:37
  just
• 15:38
  broken
• 15:38
  down.
• 15:39
  Oh,
• 15:39
  dear.
• 15:40
  He
• 15:40
  said,
• 15:40
  what
• 15:41
  can
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  do
• 15:41
  now?
• 15:41
  I
• 15:41
  said,
• 15:42
  well,
• 15:42
  it's
• 15:42
  going
• 15:42
  to
• 15:42
  be
• 15:42
  a
• 15:42
  couple
• 15:43
  of
• 15:43
  hours
• 15:43
  before
• 15:43
  you
• 15:44
  can
• 15:44
  get
• 15:44
  through
• 15:44
  here
• 15:45
  anyway.
• 15:46
  He
• 15:46
  got
• 15:46
  back
• 15:46
  on
• 15:46
  his
• 15:46
  boat
• 15:47
  and
• 15:47
  off
• 15:48
  he
• 15:48
  went.
• 15:48
  He
• 15:48
  went
• 15:48
  downstream.
• 15:49
  But
• 15:50
  beyond
• 15:50
  the
• 15:50
  famous
• 15:51
  name,
• 15:51
  Steve
• 15:51
  has
• 15:52
  kept
• 15:52
  thousands
• 15:52
  of
• 15:53
  ordinary
• 15:53
  boaters
• 15:54
  safe.
• 15:54
  And
• 15:54
  ropes,
• 15:55
  he
• 15:55
  says,
• 15:56
  are
• 15:56
  the
• 15:56
  biggest
• 15:56
  danger.
• 15:57
  The
• 15:57
  most
• 15:57
  dangerous
• 15:58
  thing
• 15:58
  on
• 15:59
  your
• 15:59
  boat
• 15:59
  is
• 15:59
  your
• 16:00
  rope.
• 16:00
  They
• 16:01
  look
• 16:01
  at
• 16:01
  me
• 16:01
  as
• 16:01
  if
• 16:01
  I'm
• 16:02
  talking
• 16:03
  bananas.
• 16:04
  But
• 16:05
  every
• 16:05
  accident
• 16:06
  we
• 16:06
  have
• 16:06
  on
• 16:07
  the
• 16:07
  lock
• 16:07
  side,
• 16:07
  and
• 16:07
  we
• 16:08
  do
• 16:08
  have
• 16:08
  a
• 16:08
  few
• 16:08
  accidents,
• 16:10
  someone
• 16:10
  is
• 16:10
  holding
• 16:11
  a
• 16:11
  rope
• 16:11
  in
• 16:11
  their
• 16:12
  hand.
• 16:12
  It's
• 16:13
  not
• 16:13
  easy,
• 16:14
  especially
• 16:14
  when
• 16:14
  you've
• 16:15
  got
• 16:15
  a
• 16:15
  deep
• 16:15
  lock
• 16:15
  like
• 16:16
  this,
• 16:16
  which
• 16:16
  is
• 16:16
  nearly
• 16:16
  7
• 16:17
  foot,
• 16:17
  and
• 16:18
  you're
• 16:18
  standing
• 16:18
  down
• 16:19
  on
• 16:19
  a
• 16:19
  little
• 16:19
  boat
• 16:20
  and
• 16:20
  you're
• 16:21
  trying.
• 16:21
  You
• 16:21
  see
• 16:21
  that
• 16:22
  bollard
• 16:22
  above
• 16:23
  your
• 16:23
  head
• 16:23
  and
• 16:23
  you're
• 16:24
  trying
• 16:24
  to
• 16:24
  get
• 16:24
  to
• 16:24
  it.
• 16:25
  It's
• 16:25
  difficult.
• 16:26
  I
• 16:26
  can't
• 16:26
  watch
• 16:27
  everybody
• 16:27
  and
• 16:28
  I
• 16:28
  can't
• 16:28
  help
• 16:28
  everybody,
• 16:29
  but
• 16:30
  I'm
• 16:30
  really
• 16:31
  hot
• 16:31
  on,
• 16:32
  you
• 16:32
  know,
• 16:32
  don't
• 16:33
  jump
• 16:33
  off,
• 16:34
  I'll
• 16:34
  help
• 16:34
  you,
• 16:35
  you
• 16:35
  know,
• 16:35
  and
• 16:35
  if
• 16:35
  I
• 16:35
  can,
• 16:36
  not
• 16:36
  just
• 16:36
  me,
• 16:37
  everybody
• 16:38
  will,
• 16:38
  all
• 16:38
  the
• 16:38
  lock
• 16:39
  staff
• 16:39
  will.
• 16:39
  They're
• 16:40
  not
• 16:40
  going
• 16:40
  to
• 16:40
  watch
• 16:41
  as
• 16:41
  somebody
• 16:41
  tries
• 16:42
  to
• 16:42
  fall
• 16:42
  in.
• 16:42
  They're
• 16:43
  going
• 16:43
  to
• 16:43
  try
• 16:43
  and
• 16:43
  help
• 16:43
  them,
• 16:44
  you
• 16:44
  know,
• 16:44
  but
• 16:45
  most
• 16:45
  people,
• 16:45
  it
• 16:46
  will
• 16:46
  always
• 16:47
  be
• 16:47
  holding
• 16:48
  a
• 16:48
  rope
• 16:48
  in
• 16:48
  their
• 16:48
  hand
• 16:49
  and
• 16:49
  they're
• 16:50
  trying
• 16:50
  to
• 16:50
  get
• 16:50
  that
• 16:51
  rope
• 16:51
  onto
• 16:52
  that
• 16:52
  bollard.
• 16:53
  The
• 16:53
  lock
• 16:53
  is
• 16:54
  also
• 16:54
  part
• 16:54
  of
• 16:54
  Shepperton's
• 16:55
  community.
• 16:56
  When
• 16:56
  I'm
• 16:56
  day
• 16:56
  off
• 16:57
  and
• 16:57
  I
• 16:57
  walk
• 16:57
  into
• 16:57
  the
• 16:57
  village,
• 16:58
  people
• 16:59
  are
• 16:59
  saying
• 16:59
  hello
• 16:59
  to
• 17:00
  me.
• 17:00
  And
• 17:00
  I
• 17:00
  don't
• 17:00
  know
• 17:00
  who
• 17:01
  they
• 17:01
  are,
• 17:01
  but
• 17:01
  that's
• 17:02
  because
• 17:02
  they've
• 17:02
  seen
• 17:03
  me
• 17:03
  on
• 17:03
  the
• 17:04
  lock.
• 17:04
  I
• 17:04
  mean,
• 17:05
  certainly
• 17:05
  having
• 17:05
  these
• 17:06
  school
• 17:06
  kids
• 17:06
  today,
• 17:07
  I've
• 17:07
  had
• 17:07
  Cleeve
• 17:08
  School
• 17:08
  come
• 17:09
  and
• 17:09
  they
• 17:10
  came
• 17:10
  yesterday.
• 17:11
  There
• 17:11
  were
• 17:12
  60
• 17:12
  children,
• 17:13
  they've
• 17:13
  come
• 17:13
  today,
• 17:14
  there
• 17:14
  were
• 17:14
  60
• 17:15
  children
• 17:16
  and
• 17:16
  I've
• 17:16
  got
• 17:16
  another
• 17:17
  60
• 17:17
  tomorrow.
• 17:18
  I
• 17:19
  mean,
• 17:19
  I
• 17:19
  could
• 17:19
  bore
• 17:19
  them
• 17:20
  with
• 17:20
  figures.
• 17:21
  But,
• 17:21
  you
• 17:22
  know
• 17:22
  the
• 17:22
  sort
• 17:23
  of
• 17:23
  things
• 17:23
  they
• 17:23
  ask
• 17:23
  me,
• 17:23
  does
• 17:24
  anybody
• 17:24
  fall
• 17:24
  in,
• 17:25
  does
• 17:25
  anybody
• 17:26
  get
• 17:26
  hurt,
• 17:26
  what
• 17:27
  things
• 17:27
  have
• 17:27
  happened,
• 17:28
  or
• 17:28
  have
• 17:28
  you
• 17:28
  found
• 17:29
  any
• 17:29
  treasure
• 17:29
  in
• 17:30
  the
• 17:30
  river?
• 17:30
  And
• 17:30
  all
• 17:30
  this
• 17:31
  sort
• 17:31
  of
• 17:31
  thing?
• 17:32
  And
• 17:32
  I
• 17:32
  can
• 17:32
  tell
• 17:32
  them
• 17:32
  a
• 17:33
  few
• 17:33
  stories.
• 17:34
  After
• 17:34
  five
• 17:34
  decades.
• 17:35
  I
• 17:35
  wanted
• 17:36
  to
• 17:36
  know
• 17:36
  from
• 17:36
  Steve,
• 17:37
  what's
• 17:37
  kept
• 17:37
  him
• 17:38
  going?
• 17:38
  Well,
• 17:39
  I'm
• 17:39
  one
• 17:39
  of
• 17:39
  those
• 17:39
  that
• 17:40
  believe
• 17:40
  that
• 17:41
  your
• 17:41
  whole
• 17:41
  life
• 17:41
  is
• 17:42
  laid
• 17:42
  out
• 17:42
  in
• 17:42
  front
• 17:43
  of
• 17:43
  you.
• 17:43
  When
• 17:43
  I
• 17:43
  was
• 17:44
  at
• 17:44
  junior
• 17:44
  school,
• 17:45
  the
• 17:45
  school
• 17:45
  used
• 17:45
  to
• 17:45
  put
• 17:46
  on
• 17:46
  a
• 17:46
  school
• 17:46
  play
• 17:47
  every
• 17:47
  year.
• 17:47
  And
• 17:48
  this
• 17:49
  particular
• 17:49
  teacher,
• 17:50
  he
• 17:50
  wanted
• 17:51
  students,
• 17:52
  or
• 17:53
  we
• 17:54
  were
• 17:54
  only
• 17:54
  11,
• 17:54
  10
• 17:55
  or
• 17:55
  11.
• 17:57
  He
• 17:57
  was
• 17:57
  going
• 17:57
  to
• 17:57
  perform
• 17:58
  the
• 17:58
  Mikado,
• 17:59
  Gilbert
• 18:00
  and
• 18:00
  Sullivan.
• 18:00
  And
• 18:01
  we
• 18:01
  all
• 18:01
  had
• 18:01
  to
• 18:01
  go.
• 18:02
  Well,
• 18:02
  not
• 18:02
  all
• 18:02
  of
• 18:03
  us,
• 18:03
  but
• 18:03
  the
• 18:03
  ones
• 18:03
  that
• 18:03
  wanted
• 18:04
  to
• 18:04
  do
• 18:04
  it
• 18:04
  had
• 18:05
  to
• 18:05
  go
• 18:05
  for
• 18:05
  an
• 18:05
  audition,
• 18:06
  singing
• 18:06
  audition.
• 18:08
  And
• 18:09
  I
• 18:09
  went
• 18:09
  for
• 18:09
  this
• 18:09
  singing
• 18:10
  audition
• 18:11
  and
• 18:11
  they,
• 18:12
  for
• 18:12
  whatever
• 18:12
  reason,
• 18:13
  they
• 18:13
  liked
• 18:13
  what
• 18:14
  I
• 18:14
  sang.
• 18:14
  And
• 18:15
  I
• 18:15
  got
• 18:15
  the
• 18:15
  part
• 18:16
  of
• 18:16
  the
• 18:16
  Mikado.
• 18:17
  Now,
• 18:17
  how
• 18:18
  ironic
• 18:18
  is
• 18:19
  this,
• 18:19
  Gareth?
• 18:20
  I
• 18:20
  am
• 18:21
  now
• 18:21
  looking
• 18:22
  over
• 18:23
  at
• 18:23
  D'Oyly
• 18:23
  Carte
• 18:24
  island,
• 18:25
  where
• 18:25
  Gilbert
• 18:25
  and
• 18:25
  Sullivan
• 18:26
  used
• 18:26
  to
• 18:27
  go
• 18:27
  and
• 18:27
  where
• 18:28
  the
• 18:28
  song
• 18:29
  tit
• 18:29
  willow,
• 18:30
  tit
• 18:30
  willow,
• 18:31
  tit
• 18:31
  willow
• 18:32
  was,
• 18:32
  was
• 18:33
  written
• 18:34
  for
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  Mikado
• 18:35
  in
• 18:35
  the
• 18:35
  Mikado
• 18:36
  play.
• 18:37
  And
• 18:38
  here
• 18:38
  I
• 18:38
  am,
• 18:39
  overlooking
• 18:39
  that.
• 18:40
  I
• 18:40
  just
• 18:40
  think
• 18:41
  I've
• 18:41
  been
• 18:42
  really
• 18:42
  privileged
• 18:42
  to
• 18:43
  be
• 18:43
  able
• 18:43
  to
• 18:43
  live
• 18:44
  in
• 18:44
  this
• 18:45
  lockhouse
• 18:46
  and
• 18:47
  come
• 18:47
  to
• 18:47
  work
• 18:48
  at
• 18:48
  a
• 18:48
  really.
• 18:49
  I
• 18:49
  think
• 18:49
  it's
• 18:50
  one
• 18:50
  of
• 18:50
  the
• 18:50
  nicest
• 18:50
  locks
• 18:51
  on
• 18:51
  the
• 18:51
  River
• 18:51
  Thames,
• 18:52
  isn't?
• 18:53
  It's
• 18:53
  amazing.
• 18:53
  I
• 18:54
  still
• 18:54
  feel
• 18:55
  the
• 18:55
  same
• 18:55
  about
• 18:56
  this
• 18:56
  job
• 18:57
  today
• 18:58
  as
• 18:58
  I
• 18:59
  did
• 18:59
  on
• 18:59
  July
• 19:00
  14,
• 19:01
  1975.
• 19:02
  And
• 19:02
  I.
• 19:03
  I
• 19:03
  mean
• 19:03
  that.
• 19:04
  I
• 19:04
  mean
• 19:04
  that.
• 19:05
  I've
• 19:05
  been
• 19:06
  lucky,
• 19:06
  trust
• 19:06
  me.
• 19:07
  I've
• 19:07
  won
• 19:07
  the
• 19:07
  lottery
• 19:08
  having
• 19:08
  this
• 19:08
  job.
• 19:09
  And
• 19:09
  before
• 19:09
  we
• 19:10
  wrapped
• 19:10
  up,
• 19:10
  I
• 19:10
  asked
• 19:11
  Steve
• 19:11
  what
• 19:11
  his
• 19:12
  favorite
• 19:12
  sound
• 19:13
  is
• 19:13
  from
• 19:13
  the
• 19:13
  lock.
• 19:14
  Well,
• 19:15
  I've
• 19:15
  got
• 19:15
  two
• 19:15
  things,
• 19:15
  really.
• 19:17
  You
• 19:17
  might
• 19:17
  find
• 19:17
  this
• 19:18
  a
• 19:18
  bit
• 19:18
  weird,
• 19:19
  but
• 19:19
  certainly
• 19:20
  in
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  stillness
• 19:21
  of
• 19:22
  night,
• 19:22
  when
• 19:23
  I
• 19:23
  hear
• 19:23
  a
• 19:24
  slight
• 19:24
  leakage
• 19:25
  from
• 19:25
  the
• 19:25
  lock
• 19:25
  gates
• 19:26
  of
• 19:26
  this
• 19:26
  water
• 19:27
  just
• 19:27
  dropping
• 19:28
  into
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28
  river
• 19:29
  and
• 19:29
  just
• 19:29
  making
• 19:30
  that
• 19:30
  noise,
• 19:31
  I
• 19:31
  can
• 19:32
  also
• 19:32
  tell
• 19:33
  if
• 19:33
  it's
• 19:33
  quite
• 19:34
  a
• 19:34
  lot
• 19:34
  of
• 19:34
  water
• 19:35
  coming
• 19:35
  through
• 19:36
  that
• 19:36
  is
• 19:36
  telling
• 19:37
  me
• 19:37
  that
• 19:37
  the
• 19:37
  river
• 19:37
  levels
• 19:38
  are
• 19:39
  going
• 19:39
  up
• 19:40
  quite
• 19:40
  quickly.
• 19:41
  And
• 19:41
  the
• 19:42
  reverse
• 19:42
  also,
• 19:43
  when
• 19:44
  there's
• 19:44
  not
• 19:44
  a
• 19:44
  lot
• 19:44
  of
• 19:44
  water
• 19:45
  coming
• 19:45
  through,
• 19:45
  that
• 19:46
  the
• 19:46
  river
• 19:46
  levels
• 19:47
  are
• 19:47
  dropping
• 19:47
  quite
• 19:47
  quickly.
• 19:48
  It's
• 19:48
  a
• 19:48
  nicer
• 19:49
  sound,
• 19:50
  believe
• 19:51
  it
• 19:51
  or
• 19:51
  not.
• 19:51
  I
• 19:52
  love
• 19:52
  the
• 19:52
  sound
• 19:53
  of
• 19:53
  seagulls
• 19:53
  by
• 19:54
  the
• 19:54
  water.
• 19:54
  I
• 19:54
  just
• 19:55
  think
• 19:55
  I'm
• 19:55
  on
• 19:55
  holiday
• 19:56
  somewhere.
• 19:56
  I'm
• 19:57
  down
• 19:57
  on
• 19:57
  the
• 19:57
  coast,
• 19:58
  I
• 19:58
  can
• 19:58
  hear.
• 19:59
  I
• 19:59
  can.
• 19:59
  These
• 19:59
  seagulls
• 20:00
  are
• 20:00
  quirking
• 20:01
  away
• 20:02
  and
• 20:02
  I
• 20:02
  just
• 20:03
  think,
• 20:03
  yeah,
• 20:04
  that's
• 20:04
  great.
• 20:05
  Love
• 20:05
  it.
• 20:06
  So
• 20:07
  it
• 20:07
  might
• 20:07
  seem
• 20:08
  strange,
• 20:09
  but,
• 20:09
  I
• 20:09
  mean,
• 20:10
  it's
• 20:10
  nicer
• 20:10
  than
• 20:10
  the
• 20:11
  duck
• 20:11
  quacking,
• 20:11
  isn't
• 20:11
  it?
• 20:12
  It
• 20:12
  was
• 20:12
  so
• 20:12
  nice
• 20:13
  sitting
• 20:13
  outside
• 20:13
  at
• 20:14
  the
• 20:14
  lock
• 20:14
  with
• 20:14
  a
• 20:15
  cup
• 20:15
  of
• 20:15
  tea,
• 20:15
  chatting
• 20:16
  to
• 20:16
  Steve.
• 20:17
  Now,
• 20:17
  what's
• 20:17
