Steve - do a Wikepedia on River Welland and follow on through the River 
Gwash link, there you will find reference to Oxbow lakes (remember from 
school - meandering offcuts!) but it says that these are not of the 
normal expected shape, there's also some interesting stuff about rivers 
being run in paralell courses so that the area between can function as 
a flood plain. Perhaps the Environment Agency ought to do some reading 
on how things were done hundreds of years ago - oh progress!
