More about this scene

The Tone is one of several rivers draining these lowlands, and the one that gave Taunton its name. Much of the area was under water when King Alfred used the marshlands as a base for guerrilla operations against the Danes. Today the marshlands are the more peaceful haunt of the fisherman and birdwatcher.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

We used to visit my grandparents on Sundays. Quite often during the Spring we would drive through the flooded levels and see boats on the water.  I remember wanting desperately to go for a ride in one!  It didn't happen.  My Grandfather was Charles Perry who was a stonemason and Grandma's name was Laura. They had 4 children, Rose, George (known as Gordon) my Dad, Kathleen and Wilfred. It would be great if anyone remembers the family or perhaps the house?
