River Thames freezes over
A cold spell has caused the river Thames to freeze from Kent to London, crippling sea-based trade with the continent. We face shortages in key goods and London trade is likely to remain impaired for some time, as merchants are inclined to set up alternative routes for the purpose of continued trading.

9351historical_info = flavor_eng.100.historical_info On the 24th of November 1434, the River Thames froze over. This was not uncommon until the nineteenth century, when embankments were constructed, making the river deeper. The severity of this particular winter meant that all sorts of merchandise and provisions had to be brought by land to the city.
