Let's face it you have to be a member to post here LOL Thought i would get that out of the way.

Ditto i think it is just based on the number of posts made.LOL

I suppose the condition of the network may encompass the wet bits ect but it is disappointing that the consider the main public benefit as being the towpaths. It certainly fails the weggie Benn principal of transparency/democracy Who are you? what are your powers? how can i get rid of you? or words to the above efffect

You forgot to mention the candle to illuminate the garage so you can see to decant the liquid. Daft things are easily done and i hope the lady involved recover swiftly.

Yes indeed a fascinating insight.

LOL

With many of these sites you only need to register if you want to seethe additional pics.I to have never received phone calls or spam from this site.I consider spam and adverts as a evil that keeps many site free of cheaper than they might be.Having said that i have the ring of trust on my browser which does indicate the untrustworthy sites.

Sounds like that rear breed of gentlemen who have both a business sense and a community sense. sad news but it sounds like he had a full life..Best wishes to his family.

They say that in years to come you will laugh at this maybe even write a best seller LOL best of luck with the rest of the journey.perhaps that's all the bad luck out of the way at the beginning.

Some nice old pictures there and interesting information on the basin.

Nice to hear fingers crossed for it's future renovation.

Here is a site on mushrooms My link hopefully it works

well done from the photo's it looked great

you might want to re post this in History and Heritage section.

In Gas street basin they were trying to sell trading births but i do not know if it ever got off the ground.There is a boat selling coffee etc there already.

This is all sounding very complicated.How many different types of committee are they going to set up and where will the buck stop? i suppose that's the point really.

Or a very long pole.

Apicture in the document section shows there to be a few buildings in that small area they suggest a boat builders associated with the canal rather than the river then there is the watermill in the river channel it is taken from the yorkshire weekly post and is said to be of the river aire in 1893

i hope everything works out for the best.Sometimes things need a little time to heal sometimes longer.Have you investigated the various supports for back etc.Hope 2012 brings you better luck.

Yes i thought that.There was thought to be a watermill beside methley old lock on the river.the lock separated the mill from the bank that was the area i was digging in,the dry dock and the site of Dry dock house is not far away.I would love to read the final deductions of the site to find out they changed from their initial thoughts.

found the report titled ST Aidans quarry excavations interim report on phase 1 The site was excavated and recorded on the 23rd of november and the 7th of december 1997 by members of the nautical Archaeology society and Pontefract and district archaeological society. the near complete barge was estimated to be 1.95 metres from the center of the keelson to the outer edge of the starboard side giving an overall width measurement of 3.90 metres or 13 ft.The best guess on the length of the vessel was indicates it was 16 to 17 metres long [52-56 ft] long. The date of the vessal was then uncertain but almost certainly within the period 1700-1950. the boat had a limber and 2 plugholes apparently that let the water out when drydocked.

i do not think they had permission i think the did the mining and then reaped the consequences. From what i was told the mine payed for the making good but was allowed to mine the dry section of river.The week ends i worked there were separated by some weeks and the mine was visibly closer on the second visit to where we were digging. The lorries were massive that worked there the wheels alone were about one and a half times bigger than a six foot person.Not much in the way of finds but there was some glass clinker in small amounts.There was a the remains of a wicker fence in the bed of the river but we had just found the top of that on my second visit stretching across the river.

reading this thread bells started ringing and i am fairly certain i dug on that site for 2 weekends it was a rescue dig run by a mate and his then girlfriend who did the non boat archeology.I have an early report on that section which they wrote.There were some other buildings there as well associated with the river.I will have a look for the report though it is only a very early thought on the site.

I do agree that it is a word i would not choose to use but i thought it was an American abusive term not a British one we have many of our own. I have seen the term attached to paint colour by a mainstream paint manufacturer and i am fairly sure as a fabric colour. As with other swear word abusive terms change,calling a person colured used to be acceptable then not similarly black,then the correct reference was Afro-Caribbean in this particular stereotype now that is wrong and should be African-carabean because afro is a hairstyle and so not acceptable.Words are just words, it is the intent behind them that is offensive.I enjoy a joke but there are alot out there that make me feel uncomfortable, i consider them viscous and unfeeling but audiences seem to laugh at them.I would not have the difficult job of moderation for banker pay. Happy new year to you all.
