Port Logan, Mull of Galloway. The lighthouse and pier was designed  by Thomas Telford, the most Westerly construction by Telford in the UK. 

My brother in law lives in one of the council bungalows overlooking the bay, Jammy Bugger! I get pics of this most days on FB.

Number 10 on the top plan legend made me smile, Iccles Lock flood safe moorings for canal craft. Not quite correct, going by your previous Iccles lock photos.

Sheffield above Ickles lock S&SYN. This boat was sunk at its moorings in the flood and was being pumped out.

Later in the day this seemed to have been successful. The Sheffield Keel remained at its crazy angle where it settled when the flood subsided.

 

BW on the phone had no information of the extent of the damage nor any idea of how repairs might be needed.

 

A walk into Rotherham found Tescos, then close to Rotherham Lock had been under three foot of water and much of the stock had been junked.

 

Radio Sheffield phoned for another interview and update on our position behind Rotherham football ground.

With reference to the above post.

No 10 Iccles Lock flood safe moorings for canal craft.

Good turnout. When we were there in 2000 got as far as the lock but no navigation above.
