Item #: 29730
Cheers Mick, that's brilliant, there was some sort of sepia kind of thing going on in the original wasn't there? Well, now that we can see them, I can reveal that the couple sat in the area generally referred to in naval parlance as ' the pointy bit ' are Bob Merry and his lovely wife Margaret. Bob worked in the highways department at Wigan council for quite a number of years, and may possibly be known to one or two people on this site. By the way Mick, I don't suppose there's anything you can do with item # 29705 with regards to clarity by any chance is there mate? Thanks again. Respect. Ozy.
Ozymandias - if you can give me a pointer as to which album I can find item # 29705 in, I'll have a look what I can do.
It's not coming up on any searches.
The oldest section of the cut this. Originally part of the Lancaster canal.
The location is near Haigh Saw Mill House.
The packet house is in view behind on Wigan Road New Springs.
nice seeing this, my dad built this boat in the mid 70s from an old lifeboat hull. it used to live at the douglas valley cruising club in appley bridge.
