Hi all, thought some of you may be interested in this vid . . .

An old photo from when it was busy and the railway and Arches can be seen in use. Most people in Sheffield don’t know this place is there or know any historical facts about the canal basin. So good to see someone taking interest in the local history.

It's quite nice on the Shropshire Union this evening.

Most of the Arches are Best Weston Hotel to the left, then sandwich shop, CaRT community/volunteer office, a snooker product/research office with full size snooker table, A&G Passanger boat shop, a bar(Dorothy Pax) and finally another bar/eataree(True Love) No brokerage going on now mainly all leisure moorings. The Marina office is now the old CaRT office by the swing bridge opposite side, unfortunately not open a lot with no contact details or opening hours displayed, which sometimes is frustrating and confusing for visiting boats especially with a fulley signed up CaRT office more prominent. Getting there slowly.

It seems to me that while CaRT may think they are trying to protect you from verbal and maybe actual abuse and violence they are in fact taking the easy way out. Whilst it is clear that it is not our place t argue with the moorers you must have a local paid supervisory CaRT employee and it if the vegetation needs cutting back then his job is to ensure its done, including taking on those moorers in whatever way is appropriate. Maybe notice of refusal to renew their licence would be one way. there is too much of taking the easy option nowadays (not you - CaRT in this case).

If English is not your first language, can I suggest that you post a full description of your problem in your own language and then we can get a Google translation of your posts?

Nivernais days. The flag is that of Bourgogne.

That’s not giving cyclists a bad name at all is it. Maybe that’s why they behave like they do thanks to irresponsibility from the likes of you.

Because they are people, and there is no reason for them not to.
