Slat Mill Lock, South Oxford

Thursday 5 August 2010 - Thursday 5 August 2010

During our emergency stoppage we found that the Babbie had been seriously 
damaged at Slat Mill Lock and needs to be replaced as a matter of urgency. 
This work will commence at 9am on Thursday 5th August by closing the lock 
for a period of 1 hour to remove the old Babbie,  we will then reopen to 
complete the works to the Babbie on the bank side, then reclose again for an 
hour to install the replacement.  Each closure is expected to last up to 1 
hour.

Seems a somewhat harsh way to treat small children!

So who knows what a "babbie" is in BW parlance?   I certainly don't.
