River Thames Frost Fairs $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles River Thames frost fairs were held on the Tideway of the River Thames at London between the 15th and 19th centuries when the river froze over. During that time the British winter was more severe than now, and the river was wider and slower. During the Great Frost of 168384, the worst frost recorded in England, the Thames was completely frozen for two months, with the ice reaching a thickness of 11 inches (28 cm) in London. Solid ice was reported extending for miles off the coasts of the southern North Sea (England, France and the Low Countries), causing severe problems for shipping and preventing the use of many harbours. Near Manchester, the ground was frozen to 27 inches; in Somerset, to more than four feet. One of the earliest accounts of the Thames freezing comes from AD 250, when it was frozen solid for nine weeks. As long ago as 923 the river was open to wheeled traffic for trade and the transport of goods for 13 weeks; in 1410, it lasted for 14 weeks.

Islands in the River Thames $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles This article lists the islands in the River Thames, in England. It excludes many of the smaller lock islands that were created when weirs and locks were built, and also some very small islands that immediately adjoin the larger ones. The Isle of Dogs and Isle of Grain are no longer islands although their names remain. Westminster used to be on an island called Thorney Island. Some other socalled islands are also now just promontories, often marked by a small ditch. Most of the islands are natural, but a few were created by rerouting of the navigation channel. Many Thames islands are called aits or eyots. Aits are usually longer thinner islands that have built up through an accumulation of silt.
