Where she is standing used to be the city dump , there was a wharf with pill boxes at the end of Warren Avenue and the whole mid banks and deep channel was gradually filled and turned into the common . I can just about remember the village which had a duck pond . The houseboats were dotted around the shore but had been vacated when I was a kid . A couple stayed out into the seventies . It's a great place to live .
Superb video, one of the best un-spoilt areas of the City, Milton Locks is an area very close to my heart, I grew up in Locksway Road in the 1970s & 80s, I was often 'down the locks' on sunny days, I can still remember there being a few houseboats there in the early 80s.

I also lived in Locksway Road, but was there a little earlier in the 60s & 70s. My parents owned "The Larder" and we lived in the maisonette above it, moving in when it was new in 1962 or 1963. Have very fond memories of growing up there, playing with the other children and exploring the Locks, the fields opposite, the foreshore up towards Eastern Road and scrumping for apples & pears in St James's. Happy memories indeed.
