And the beer was Lewes? 👍 remembered in the end knew where it were just got me pubs muddled The beer in J W Lees, you can usually smell the Brewery at the next lock up. A lot of the local pubs are Lees pubs. Its brown dishwater type stuff, a traditional beer that some people like, but as you know I am a fan of the new fangled hoppy "alcoholic grapefruit juice" type beers. And yes, we had a very hard boating day and sat in the corner behind the Christmas eating and drinking with the "ugly sister".There was a quiz and the pub was rammed.

Goliath Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 Of course Lees!! I don’t mind it, I got to admit. Its Manchester brewed ? Easy drinking, needs a whisky on the side mind, but it’s ok. Ugly sister?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a bit alarming as you wouldn't know exactly when the chimney was going to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-M Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 The chimney at the Stoke Bruerne mill ready for demolition. A gap in the structure is made and shored up by timbers which will be set alight - Fred Dibnah-style. The year is 1914. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they removed a couple of courses of bricks to help it break and fall away from the building behind? Great photo👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pluto Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Which canal warehouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartland Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Pluto has presented a challenge and I shall present another but give a clue that this was a blast furnace canal basin where the furnace used a vertical lift to take calcined ironstone and limestone to the top.

Goliath Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 I haven’t a clue about either Pluto’s or Heartland’s. but I will bump it up by having a guess maybe Heartland’s is somewhere between the Dudley Canals ? 🤷♀️Brierley Hill somewhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEngo Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Guessing at Heartland's. The boat in the foreground looks BCN day boat, so possibly a hotholer at Bilston, or less likely, because the ground falls away from the cut there, Round Oak. Is Pluto's the remains of Crescent Wharf? N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartland Posted February 8 Author Report Share Posted February 8 Well as to mine it is on the BCN and in South Staffordshire it was on the opposite bank to a foundry and beside a canal originally authorised in 1794 and near that ungodly place SODOM As to the unanswered post by Goliath and others, it would nice to have clarification instead of confusion.
