Taplow Weir and the JR video – 2014 – Ian Tomes (EA)

Posted on February 13, 2026February 16, 2026 by ecwlarcombe

As a consequence of the ‘Digital Revolution’ I am sure that Mandelson, Epstein (if he was still here), former Royalty and many others now regret the perpetual existence of digital data.  Below is 2 minutes and 45 seconds of YouTube video dated 2014.  Ian Tomes from the Environment Agency actually talks about ‘three more channels’.  It is now 2026 and ‘three channels’ is now two because there was no ‘partnership funding’ contribution and Channel One was removed from the RTS project. I look forward to this video being presented in evidence to the Planning Inspectorate when (if) we get to the RTS DCO stage in 2028 – by which time this video will be over 14 years old and RTS project development costs could be around £150m over the last 20 years.

DATCHET

The name "Datchet" is thought to be Celtic in origin, and the last part may be related to cet ("wood"). In the Domesday Book it is called "Daceta".lla. Datchet is first mentioned between 990 and 994, when King Ethelred made small grants of land here.

HORTON

The village name "Horton" is a common one in England. It is Old English in origin and derives from the two words horu 'dirt' and tūn 'settlement, farm, estate', presumably meaning 'farm on muddy soil'.In the Domesday Book of 1086 it was recorded as Hortune.

WRAYSBURY

The village name was traditionally spelt Wyrardisbury; it is Anglo Saxon in origin and means 'Wïgrǣd's fort'. Its name is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Wirecesberie and as Wiredesbur in 1195. The name is seen again as Wyrardesbury in 1422.
