Summary
| Description |
English: Jubilee River: Manor Farm Weir The Jubilee River was built at a cost of about £110 million to alleviate flooding to areas in and around the towns of Maidenhead, Windsor, and Eton. Although much of the civil engineering works are visible some are hidden. Here, for example, a much smaller watercourse that existed prior to the Jubilee River being built, Roundmoor Ditch, is actually culverted, out of sight, underneath the weir, from one side of the Jubilee River to the other, through a syphon arrangement, ensuring that, as far as possible, the route and function of the original watercourse are maintained both upstream and downstream of the crossing.
The weir is known as Manor Farm after a nearby farm through whose land the Jubilee River was constructed. The river was made operational in 2002, and the first real test of its capabilities occurred during the flood event of January 2003, when the south bank here at Manor Farm Weir suffered severe erosion. |
