""It was on the RH side heading upstream having come out of the lift and turned left.
The bankside (brick wall) was very high, rough and 'broken down', there were a number of seemingly abandoned boats tied up to it, we moored behind them. There was a small shed-like structure (elsan facilities ?) with a tap hidden away around the back. Our 175 foot hose would not reach and we needed to use our friend's two hoses to reach the tap - maybe I was exaggerating at 300ft, but it was certainly considerably longer than 200ft."
I wonder if this could possibly have been either the British Waterways repair yard....or maybe the Yarwoods yard further on past Hunts Lock. Maybe a fair while ago?
