The work required the demolition of a small hotel (The Old Castle) and, to the south, diversion of the flow of the River Mole into the River Ember, formerly the secondary distributary of the Mole.
As such the River Mole was similar to two other Thames tributaries, the Colne and the Cherwell in having more than one channel in its lowest stretch.

The two rivers then flow side by side approximately north east and merge 400 metres before joining the River Thames at the eastern end of East Molesey opposite Hampton Court Palace on the south side of the last non-tidal reach, which is above Teddington Lock.
However the inlets here sucked up too much mud with the water because of turbulence caused by the River Mole, River Ember and The Rythe.
