Cox's Boat Yard
This photo shows Cox's boatyard in late autumn not long after the boat shed on the left had been built. The shed had been part of a wartime camp some where in East Anglia and had been re-erected by the Cox brothers, Lewis and Sonny, complete with American pinups.

He used to stop the cabin cruisers and offer them a cup of tea and Granny had to stop what she was doing and make it for his new friends.

The Shop to The Left of The Picture
The shop on the left was, from 1900 to 1950, a sweet shop and newsagents. First owned by Fennel and Means, two single ladies. Then the Coxs bought it and moved the shop across the road to the right of the picture. Then it was a barber's shop, violin maker's shop and now it's owned by an Eel Catcher and Willow merchant. The terrace was built in 1774.

In 1880 he married Jane Ann Yates from Rostherne Village, Altrincham, cheshire. Why he and his brother moved to cheshire is unknown. still looking for any information.
