If you definitely don't want a mooring here are a couple of canal side properties. Guess where before you look.

This may come as a shock but caravans have wheels, and can easily be towed away.

 

Problem solved.

Lol, this may come as a shock to you, but I have a track record of posting ludicrous things to see if I can snare an idiot taking it 'straight'.

Oh dear Micheal, you do read my posts after all.

 

I take it you know posting in an internet forum for the sole purpose of eliciting a negative reaction from somebody has a name?

Ansty, no way. Far too much motorway racket.

Also not so long ago there were banners protesting about losing the green fields to development.  Not sure when that is going ahead.

I believe this was bought by the council some years ago as a precursor to reopening the Bradford Canal, but that project seems to have gone quiet more recently.

"Included in the sale plan is a garden (cross-hatched in green) adjacent to the property which is to be usable by the prospective buyer via a garden licence agreement. This may be terminated should the garden be required for canal regeneration."

I do find it mildly amusing when an estate agent bangs on about a property being 'unique' and 'individual', then includes a link on the page to find similar properties.

The debasement of the English language continues apace. This morning on Radio 4 there was a discussion about finding awe in the everyday. Surely the point of awe is to be awestruck which shouldn't be an everyday occurance.

 

"Awesome" says the waiter as he takes your order for avocado toast.

Indeed. I remember my English teecher at skool raging on for hours about debasement of the English language, and this must have been back in about 1970. 

 

Well it might actually have been a reasonable and measured lesson about the effect. I wasn't really listening.

 

 

Being 14 at the time, I knew it all already.

I accept the point you are making but I do find that at times one can sense the 'awesome ' through things that we encounter frequently. 

 

OK so we don't get snow every day but it is familiar and seen in bulk may feel ordinary. But look through or beyond that mundane to see the structure of individual snowflakes is an altogether different experience. Indeed one might just call it awesome!

I think the car parking mentioned is on the other side of the canal and therefore access is across the lock. Wonder if Currys will deliver a  fridgefreezer? Also unlikely to get an offside mooring as CRT have closed the moorings on the towpath side claiming they are vulnerable to flooding.

So is the house vulnerable to flooding. Could you get it insured?

Yes it is. But remember an English mans home is his castle. This one comes with it’s own moat. Just need a drawbridge across the lock chamber so curry’s can get the fridge freezer delivered.😜

The Broad Cut House, mansion, whatever. If I recall there was a house there, but this one is bigger. I may be the owners had an intention to build a HMO but then  kit cannot be as it would have had many more rooms with air space that would make an old canal boat inspector wince

No mooring.

A busy road which often floods
