After a few days in captivity me and Shirl got wrapped up and went for a walk down to the Trent for some fresh air, which only served to make our sore and swollen hooters even worse!! =))

It was a bit cold and windswept, river well up on normal levels, this downstream towards Gainsborough and you can see the old rail bridge where you can walk accross the river.

When we got back to the road we went accross to the Lock, and this is where the "Why?" comes from.
On the inner flood gates at the end of the Lock itself we saw numerous Teapots on the gates and wondered why they've been put there? Any sailors out there?

May have to ask accross at the pub Dan, the boaters get in there for meals so someone must know.

Because they are all mental up your way and did you have to put a lacky band round your ears to get that hat on?

Looks a lovely place to be :p
Great photos :)
 
Glad to see the cold weather is not keeping you two in. Teapots on the foss foss lock gates???? Tried to work out what and why they were there, well didn't get even close, thought they may be left by passing boat owners, put one on take one off, ha ha ha. Lock keeper must be good climber.:facepalm:

Looks a very nice pace to go walking mate.
Sorry to see you and shirl have the lurgy,hope you both feel better soon.
You both could do with Zroadster beanie's for such occasions ;),I wear mine when we go out walking in cold weather.
Have you found out what the tea pots at the lock are about yet ?.

I think Ant hit the nail on the head Steve. I will ask Eric (the lock keeper) when I see him.
