Obviously the residents will have

the whole thing, towpath, houses, and any road or pathway between the green
and houses were all known as Strand on the Green.


Was there ever a towpath there? Isn't approaching that bank by boat
impossible at low tide? I think that the towpath now is on the other
side of the river in this length, next to the navigation channel which
has sufficient depth for navigation at low tide.
