THE BOATS WE LOOKED AFTER

While my family lived in the lock house 1950 - 1961, my father rented  the rowing boats out and also the fishing permits. This is only one place where they were moored. At various times they were both sides of the bridge and on both banks. On the left bank of this picture there was the swimming pool and on the right they built a boating club in the late 50s with kayaks & racing rowing boats from 1 to eight people.  Most of my childhood was spent either in the canoes, rowing boats or I was fishing, with my sister or mates .Finish this story later
