The Floating Cinema will begin its epic journey from Brentford Lock, travelling along the Kennet & Avon Canal, across West Berkshire and Wiltshire, before taking up residency in Bristol. The ‘On Tour’ theme celebrates the diversity of urban and rural living, a slower pace of life encourages a playful discovery of local landscapes and heritage through archive film and music.

Filmmakers Somewhere will also premiere their new film Repeat to Flourish – a visual odyssey of the Kennet and Avon Canal’s industrial past, subsequent decline and present day renaissance. ‘The Floating Cinema On Tour’ is curated by UP Projects with artist duo Nina Pope and Karen Guthrie (Somewhere) and supported by the BFI; awarding funds from The National Lottery, Arts Council England and Canal & River Trust.

    Wiltshire's Fun Facts • Did You Know Another Series of Poldark Is Being

    Wiltshire’s Fun Facts Did you know another series of Poldark is being filmed this year at Great Chalfield Manor? Other filming includes The White Princess in Lacock and Bradford on Avon and Transformers at Stonehenge. Look out for Wiltshire on your TV/Cinema in 2017! Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles.

  • Caen Hill Biomanipulation

    Caen Hill Biomanipulation

    AquaticEngineering Working Above Water, On Water & Under Water Case Study : Biomanipulation Curtains - Caen Hill Locks Devizes Client: British Waterways / Canal & River Trust Caen Hill was the last stretch of the Kennet Avon Canal (linking the River Kennet at Newbury and the River Avon at Bath) to be completed, largely because it presented such a formidable obstacle. In all there are 29 locks which rise 237 feet in 2 miles (72 m in 3.2 km) or a 1 in 44 gradient. The locks are in three groups. The lower seven locks are spread over 1.2 km. The next sixteen locks form a steep flight in a straight line up the hillside. Because of the steepness of the terrain, the pounds between these locks are very short. As a result, 15 locks have unusually large sideways-extended pounds to store the water needed to operate them. These pounds were formerly biodiverse and species rich, however due to the increase in turbidity creating pleasure boat traffic and the rapid rise in the carp population throughout the canal network, the pounds ecology had all but expired. High turbidity from increased diesel engine boat traffic has had a detrimental impact of the biodiversity of the Kennet Avon Canal in recent years. In January 2009 the lock pounds were drained down to facilitate fish removal. An abundance of zooplanktivorous cyprinids (silver fish) and a few piscivores (predators) were netted from the pounds, along with turbidity creating carp to 28lb. AquaticEngineering installed a flexible biomanipulation curtain across the mouth of the pounds to prevent the re-entry of fish and hold back the turbidity created by boats & operation of the locks.
