	SWANSEA - LoveToKnow Article on SWANSEA
		The east side of the river (known as St Thomass and Port Tennant) is approached from the west by a road carried over the North Dock Lock and the river by two girder drawbridges, each of which has a double line of roadway (on which tramways are laid), two footpaths and a line of railway.
		In 1851 the river was diverted eastward into a new channel (called the New Cut) and its old channel was locked and floated, thereby forming the North Dock with an area of 113/4 acres and a half-tide basin 500 yards long covering 21/2 acres.
		The trustees are conservators of the river Taw and parts of Swansea Bay, and the pilotage and lighthouse authority of the district.

	River Taw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		River Taw rises at Taw Head, a spring on the central northern flanks of Dartmoor.
		Seawards of Barnstaple, the river's journey is blocked by the large dune complex of Braunton Burrows, hence its late diversion south-westward and shared entry with the Torridge across Zulu Bar sandbanks and out into Barnstaple (or Bideford) Bay.
		The flooding of the Taw in August 1983 and the destruction of the sand dune causeway to Crow Island at the southern tip of Braunton Burrows was the inspiration for Ted Hughes' poem to commemorate the birth of Prince William, son of Prince Charles.

	Resurgence issue 223 - RIVERS & STARS Susan Derges, interview by Satish Kumar
		I had been looking at rivers a lot as I moved to Dartmoor and I wondered if I could take photographic paper out at night and immerse it in the river, to see if it would be possible to make direct prints.
		I did a walk with a river ecologist during that time and she named a lot of the forms that I had been exposing.
		These forms are extremely interesting in the life of a river: for example, they are a self-dredging mechanism, carrying rocks and boulders downstream creating further turbulence and keeping the water healthy.
