The Stink had trout in it around Broad Oak works,that was in the 70's coz we used to catch them and eat them.They could be found in that stretch behind the Bridge pub,then the river went under a bridge and I think it was there that a lot of polution was poured into it from the Town Centre by the time it surfaced just at the other side of Accy Car Park near the Viaduct.Anyway the Thames has over 100 species of fish and is very clean now - it looks muddy and that is the way it's been for 1,000's of years,apparently!
