Steam around Windsor
In my feature on the branch lines to Windsor in last month's Steam World, I mentioned the connection between the railway and Salter's Steamers on the Thames at Windsor & Eton Riverside station. Steam still plies the river around Windsor and Runnymede in the shape of two former Salter's steam launches restored by French Brothers at their Old Windsor boatyard.
The vessels, sister ships and were built in as little more than an empty hull moored at Old Windsor awaiting restoration, when I lived nearby.
