Between the Locks - Bill Colley

Talk by Bill Colley, who has worked on the River Thames in London all his life. It's part of the Between the Locks oral history project to record the lives of people who've lived and worked on the Thames between Teddington Lock and Richmond Lock, and beyond.

It was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the Hampton Fuel Allotment Charity. Special thanks to Hugh Capon of Linkvision, and Graham Skelton.
