Duchess

Thank you so much.

Thank you that’d be great i took my pictures and I have a video somewhere in November 2009 at Hillmorton.

Hi no it was this one, Daisy Ashford, at Lapworth. Not quite above Oxford but Lichfield was at Oxford after 1985 On thinking about it that would be very late 90’s i have only just found out who was on LICHFIELD from 1986 to about 2004 then I saw LICHFIELD myself in 2009 at Hillmorton. 2010 she was taken out of the water and broken up 😭

Hi Piers i have sent you a private message, I hope you find it.

Well I never Thank you, I will hang on to that link I have searched but didn’t really know how to get Old maps. Cassiobury is interesting too. That’s just what I wanted, the row of cottages.

I’m beginning to think that Grove Wharf and Lady Capels Wharf had two different functions. there now stands a Grove Wharf House with Lady Capels right next door. these are both to the north of the footpath from the road to the canal on the south of the footpath there are some cottages but not as old as 1940’s they are part of what is Affinity Water. Could that be the site of Grove wharf originally?

Do you have any pictures or the date of the article?

Just seen this sorry I didn’t get an alert. yes I’ll put on my to do list thank you 😂

If I may ask a follow up question regarding Lady Capels Wharf, I knew about the coal Tax, I believe Lady Capel was the wife of the Earl of Essex (Cassiobury was next door) and the Grove was owned by The Earl of Clarendon. So does anyone know what the Grove Wharf Cottages and Grove Wharf were and for? they all seem to be the actual same place thanks for reading

Thank you, anything that comes up will be really useful. Much appreciated. email is shendish1@gmail.com

Is your “Hampton” the one moored at Cow Roast? you have a website? Oh that’s a shame however I have quite a good stash of pics now. It’s ones from before 1965 with BW colours and before that not much chance as they will likely be black and white. but hey, worth keeping looking.

Wow, that would be great thank you yes please. I will email you. Thank you. it never ceases to amaze me how info just pops up out of the blue. Hi, have you put any posts directly on here with Hampton in the title? I would have thought something would come up.

Thank you, I don’t get alerts from CW so I have to remember to keep logging in. polesworth is near where she is right now. Pics would be great. Would she have been BW then?

Hi Roland thank you Thats an interesting thought. we are talking just before the second war so those boats worked their socks off and probably with Idle Women?! hopefull something will come up somewhere. which Butty was yours? Thanks Dan i saw a post by GSer on one of Alan’s threads and I’ve noted it but yes it may be worth an inbox. Hi David thank you that would be great. I haven’t worked out how to upload pics to here from my phone yet.
