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

RE: RE: The Boats We Looked After
Help please, My grandfather was also a lock keeper in the 1940s so please if you have any info on my family that would be amazing as they are long gone and I never knew them. I am doing my family history to find out more. Regards Ken email me at: the_ginger_ninger@hotmail.com
