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

the ferry was run by Charles Edward Saxby until his death in 1959. It was then taken over by Sidney Clarke until approx. 1968. In the floods of 1963/4 we couldn't cross the river and had to row across the fields to Rolleston to collect food. When the floods receeded we used to collect the fish in buckets from the hollows in the field behind the ferry house and throw them back in the river I always understood that it was classed as a Queen's ferry (one of only two) and could not be closed.
