🛥️ Meet Steve: The Lock Keeper Who Keeps Shepperton Afloat!
from The Sheppertonian (for Shepperton village)
We're diving into the heart of Shepperton this week, at the iconic Shepperton Lock! Steve Newman has been the friendly face of this historic landmark for over 50 years. Steve shares his journey from a printing job to becoming a lock keeper, a role he stumbled into after a serendipitous chat with a colleague. He feels incredibly lucky to work in such a picturesque spot, especially with the stunning sunsets that the south end of the River Thames has to offer. As we chat, Steve recounts some hilarious and heartwarming tales from his time at the lock, including encounters with celebrities and the importance of keeping the lock safe and welcoming for all visitors. So grab your cuppa, settle in, and let’s paddle through Steve’s extraordinary experiences!Produced by Gareth Davies at The Sound BoutiqueJoin the Business ClubSubscribe to the newsletterFollow on InstagramFollow on FacebookCheck the roadworks
