Anyone know which boats will be heading south and when

I look forward to hearing from Woody 21 again, where have you got to Roland ?

Nansen, Enterprise and the second boat waiting to be sprinkled

although Nansen was at Anglesey Basin that day Didn't there used to be a centre wheelhouse ice breaker stationed at Pelsall ( I think it was named "Byrd" )

The Tug was Enterprise Not Nansen

Has it been Sold yet ?

Well Here goes 1 Hilton Main 2 Essington Wood 3 Bradley Hall (High Hill) 4 Ashmore Park 5 Pemm Colliery 6 Coppice Farm 7 Castle Bridge or Ashmore Wharf Colliery 8 Allens Rough Farm 9 Allens Rough 10 Spottlebrook or Oaks 11 Sneyd 12 Essington Farm 13 Springhill No 14 14 Springhill 15 Cannock Lodge 16 Norton Cannock No2 17 Yew Tree 18 Landywood 19 Broadway 20 Holly Bank 21 Essington Farm No2 22 Mr Parrys Pit

Wednesfield 1901 showing Lock Keepers Cottage in Well Lane, still pretty industrialised even then, but things could only get worse ....

According to "Cheslyn Hay Those Fleeting Years" it is the Nook Colliery and "The Terminal Basin of The Wyrley Branch"

Sh t I have got " The People of Essington" but couldn't get a copy of the other one Have been trying for years ... never mind it stopped me cheating

Nothings changed we used to get yobs shooting catapults ( is that how you spell it ? ) back in the 50's round the Coalpool area also Rough Wood, Devils Elbow etc .... by the way Tony where abouts is the Hornets Nest , I'll give that bit a miss next time I'm out

I had never heard of the Nook Colliery at Chelyn Hay either

You will have to cheat, are there any mines missing or is Mitre Colliery marked in wrong place. When trying to find Naboths Thingy I was surprised at how many pits there were, I lived for some years on Perry Hall Estate and never heard of Perry Hall or Castlebridge Collieries also the number of pits around Kitchen Lane and High Hill Essington not to mention Cheslyn Hay and Gt Wyrley WHICH BOOK ???????

I bet if it was still like that now there would be more than a few boy racers using the tow path as a racing track

Whats the betting it looks like a prefab when you find one !!!!!!!!! Where was Benjamin Wood Living in 1911 ? HOW DID BOTH ITEMS END UP TOGETHER ???
