[edit] river trent info

there is not much river trent information on this page it would be more helpful if it listed the uses of the river,etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.189.203 (talk) 2006-05-21T14:33:53

[edit] Navigability

Presumably the right of navigation up to Burton upon Trent didn't last into the late 1800s or they wouldn't have permitted the chain ferry at Twyford, Derbyshire (see picture ). Linuxlad 15:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Head picture

The head picture is not of the River Trent! There is a small artificial lake in Highfields Park, Trent is a few km from there! I am removing the picture as irrelevant. It doesn't make sense to change the caption, as it will have nothin to do with Trent... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Patek (talk • contribs) 01:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Canute and the tide

[edit] Trent / Humber
