I meant the "few mill" for the property not the sub. 😛 I've often heard the phrase "it costs nowt to look", apparently this is not the case in this instance.

Heartland Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 The Financial Times has loads of potential wage increases for their workers to meet their inflation busting demands, they also have energy costs and fuel costs to bear, but then Little Venice prices may be like certain restaurants that do not give meal costs on their menus. It is assumed that their customers can afford their meals and may that is the case with the Financial Times, it would seem It is not a recent concept, though, the early road carrier John Hargreaves (Senior) of Westhoughton used to charge customers what he believed they coud stand.

Cooper Bridge. https://www.auctionhouse.co.uk/manchester/auction/lot/115224 Looks to me like Cooper Bridge Low Lock 16 - the location mark in the details is rather a way off. As with many former lock cottages, one of the bigger challenges is a access, especially for construction work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As with many former lock cottages, one of the bigger challenges is a access, especially for construction work. The location marker on the map is probably the postcode location. The cottage is at the downstream end of the lock cut. There is road access along the towpath (where there is a parking space). There is also a bridge across the lock tail wide enough for vehicles, although probably of limited weight capacity. Anywhere this close to the river must also be at risk of flooding.

davidg Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 1 hour ago, Heartland said: The only question here is why Sir John Ramsdens Canal may be Pluto can explain Because the cottage is at the lock where the canal commonly called the Huddersfield Broad Canal joins the C&H. The name of the canal when it was built was Sir John Ramsden’s Canal. In the same way that the canal commonly called the Huddersfield Narrow Canal was the Huddersfield Canal when it was built, later the Huddersfield & Manchester Railway and Canal Company. Sir John Ramsden was a major player in 18th century Huddersfield, commemorated in Ramsden Street among other places. I learned to swim at Ramsden Street baths.

Dav and Pen Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 Alton to me is the Grand Union motorboat which started the Narrow Boat Trust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark99 Posted September 15, 2022 Report Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) The Alton cottage (at Crumpwood end of Alton) was originally built as the weir keepers cottage in around 1810. The canal (Uttoxeter) opening ceremony was held at Crumpwood in September 1811. The images below are very close to the cottage. The only Uttoxeter Canal bridge still in situ.

Aha, true, but what Alton did the name come from? It seems unclear looking at the names that the GCC motor boats were given as the names appear to an uninitiated me to be random cities towns urban areas and villages. Alton Towers was a significant mansion well before the rides came with notable gardens that are grade 1 listed and nearish the canal so my hunch is from there? Was Nutfield named after Nutfield Priory or the village (Or neither...)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
