	Rowhedge Colne
		The River Colne at Rowhedge is part tidal, and widens to the Colne Estuary.
		As a tidal river the Colne at Rowhedge is affected by the respective positions of the earth and moon.
		As with the river Thames through London, the river Colne was selected by the Environment Agency (EA) to have an artificial barrier constructed, thus limiting the tide heights and reducing the risk of surge tide flooding.

	The Duke of Northumberland's River
		The Duke of Northumberland's River is another artificial river and is a branch of the River Colne.
		The river was for many years owned by the Dukes of Northumberland whose family bought it from King James the First in 1603-5 along with the former abbey of Syon at Isleworth, which is now their stately home of Syon Park.
		But the Duke's River is much older than that having probably been constructed in the 15th or 16th centuries and was originally known as the Isleworth Mill Stream, or River, a name that indicated its purpose of providing power to the manorial water mill at Isleworth on the Thames.

	Lexden Hundred \| British History Online
		It was bounded by the river Stour and its tributaries on much of the north, by the river Blackwater on part of the south-west, and by Roman river on part of the south.
		In the valleys of the Colne and the Stour and in some of the parishes around Colchester are a large number of timber-framed medieval houses.
		The medieval parks at Earls Colne, Langham, and Wivenhoe (the latter extending into Elmstead) were disparked and converted to arable in the 16th cent- ury; that at Great Horkesley was probably disparked about the same time, but its nucleus survived as a country estate into the 19th century.

	How Do I Get to Staines Moor?
		The Moor is the flood plain of the River Colne and is often flooded during wet weather.
		Across the Wraysbury River there is a large yellow brick house once the home of a mill owner, which, in 1885, was turned into a station on the GWR branch line from Colnbrook until it closed in 1965.
		The River Colne crosses the Moor in a series of bends and wide shallow stretches enjoyed by cattle, fishermen and birds.

		The bath itself was an extension of the river Colne, and the arch through which the river ran was partitioned off, and on the further side the river had been widened out to form a large square.
		Due to the flow of the river it was not possible to provide facilities such as heating and chlorination and the water was sometimes found to be rather less than clean by modern standards.
		The river bank was also restored to its original width from the large square and there is now little or no trace of the bath which gave Watford youngsters so much pleasure.

		He was engaged to survey the river and concluded a lock was needed ay Naburn.
		He was appointed engineer of the River Kennet and shortened the length of the navigation to 18.5 miles, 11.5 miles of which were artificial cuts.

	CVR
		The story of the Colne Valley Railway as it is today began one evening in the summer of 1973 when two railway enthusiasts walked a one mile section of the former Colne Valley and Halstead Railway at Castle Hedingham.
		The section of line chosen, between mileposts 60 and 61 was idyllic for it meanders along the course of the river Colne, passes through cuttings and along embankments, in the beautiful and romantic English countryside.
		Early one Sunday morning the Colne Valley team descended on the village and within two hours the signal box was craned onto a low loader and transported away, together with the original lever frame.

	Story of the New River
		The New River was ceremonially opened on 29 September, 1613, by the Lord Mayor of London, Sir John Swinnerton, in the presence of the Lord Mayor elect, Sir Thomas Myddelton, Hugh's brother.
		The course of the New River did not alter significantly during the 18th century, although the wooden "frames" at Bush Hill and Highbury were replaced by clay embankments.
		However, the New River was saved by a combination of: the additional demand for water in the London Docklands; the development of the Artificial Recharge Scheme; and interest from local residents.

	Fact File
		The Calder and its tributaries, particularly the River Colne, were particularly useful for the woollen industry in the 17th and 19th centuries and the area has long been used for the production of dyes for the textile industry.
		The river remains an important source of water for the chemical and textile industries in the upper Calder valley.
		The upper areas of the catchment are of interest for conservationists and the Peak District National Park extends into the upper reaches of the River Colne and its tributaries.

		The modest River Ver and upper Colne occupy a meandering floodplain which is grazed by livestock at a number of locations.
		The river corridor lies at the junction of the clay with flints and the London Clay natural regions and consequently provides a varied range of habitats.
		The river is crossed by a number of fords which are passable with difficulty during high water levels.

	Wivenhoe: Introduction \| British History Online
		From the river Colne in the south and west of the parish the land rises gradually to over 30 m.
		A band of London clay is exposed along the Colne valley, and bands of alluvium extend alongside the river, except on the site of the quay and early town where there is an outcrop of sand and gravel.
		For smart new work, such as the Manse in High Street and the river frontage of the Colne Marine and Yacht Co.'s premises on The Quay, grey brick, presumably imported, was used whilst local red brick continued to be used for less important elevations and structural work such as chimney stacks.

		This canal, fed by a goit from the Colne near King's Mill, is about three and three quarter miles in length, has a rise of ninety-three feet, and was opened in 1780 (See Figure 13 below).
		The company was required to make reservoirs for supplying the canal, sufficient to contain not less than twenty thousand locks of water, each lock containing one hundred and eighty cubic yards; but none of this water except in times of flood was to be taken from the rivers of the line.
		This was based on religious grounds; it wasd argued that if God had ever intended rivers to flow over one another, He would have made them do so, and that it was infamy for man to endeavour to bring such a thing about.

		To dredge the river specialist equipment had to be used, such as floating excavators, larger 20ton 360° excavators down to mini diggers around bridge areas.
		A floating excavator was used in this operation where a trench had to be dug alongside an existing wall below the water, to prevent the migration of deer into the adjacent woodland during the summer months.
		Due to the fact that the silt contained a very heavy ballast material, much larger equipment had to be used and the suspension of silt in the water had to be kept to a minimum.

		I used traditional stick floats from 5 number 4 shot to 6 number 4 shot when I was fishing a small tributary of the River Colne for big roach.
		When the river is pushing through exceptionally swiftly, a float that holds more weight than the conventional swan necked balsa is required.
		It had been more like lake fishing than river fishing and this was reinforced by looking at the bag of fish.

		It is ironic that with a forecast of NW 6 to 9's we were planning to house the topmast anyway.
		We hardened up onto a beat as we rounded Bench Head to port then later eased sheets a mite as we ran parallel to the seas breaking on the shoals of the Bench Head till we made the channel of the Colne, the Ellen dipping her shoulders into the chop as she surged to windward.
