Should it also be 'near' Derby (It's about a mile from the Southern city boundary to the river if I recollect aright...) Linuxlad 10:59, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
there is not much river trent information on this page it would be more helpful if it listed the uses of the river,etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.20.189.203 ( talk) 2006-05-21T14:33:53
Presumably the right of navigation up to Burton upon Trent didn't last into the late 1800s or they wouldn't have permitted the chain ferry at Twyford, Derbyshire (see picture ). Linuxlad 15:45, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
The head picture is not of the River Trent! There is a small artificial lake in Highfields Park, Trent is a few km from there! I am removing the picture as irrelevant. It doesn't make sense to change the caption, as it will have nothin to do with Trent... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Patek ( talk • contribs) 01:23, 17 December 2006 (UTC).
please can we see some evidence that Gainsborough and the Trent Aeiger are anything to do with the Canute story Stockwith 10:59, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Within the infobox, the page refers to locations on the River Humber not the River Trent. Tim P ( talk) 20:46, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I have moved the section heading "Navigation" down, so that it is below the Shakespeare quote, because the river was probably not navigable at Ingleby in his time, nor is it relevant to navigation. I have removed a sentence suggested a boundary change between Derbyshire and Leicstershire, becasue the Trent is not the boundary between the two counties at Ingleby. Furthermore, the abandonment of a channel does not normally alter boundaries; gradual erosion would, but that is not what is suggested. On the other hand, I have added two other indications of the river having altered its course:
In each case I hope some one can provide a reference for this or other deviations in its course. Peterkingiron ( talk) 21:28, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I have removed the following paragraph, as it is unreferenced and I can find no suitable ref. for it anywhere. It also assumes everyone would go 'up the Ouse'. Jokulhlaup ( talk) 18:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
Experience is especially necessary at Trent Falls, a lonely spot where the Trent joins the Yorkshire Ouse, to form the Humber estuary. The timetables of flows and tides of the two rivers and the estuary are very complex here, and vary through the lunar cycle. Boats coming down the Trent on an ebbing tide often have to anchor or beach themselves (sometimes in the dark) at Trent Falls to wait for the next incoming tide to carry them up the Ouse.
Hello. Just perusing my river here and have a small query relating to the map where the legend says "Bond End Branch(to Trent and Mersey)". Not quite sure what that is meant to mean. There was a branch of the T&M that extended from the main course of the canal to join the Trent at Bond End. But it's not there now. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

I think the drainage graphic is wrong. The Don flows into The Ouse, not The Trent. 46.208.23.87 ( talk) 20:52, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
