Allen register?

[Russ T]

Does anyone happen to know what happened to the Allen register website? It was a collection of known Les Allen narrowboats, I think maintained by Martin O'Keefe, who I think was a member on here.

 

The URL used to be:

 

http://www.allensregister.com/

 

If anyone knows of the new website, or if it is currently down, or simply no longer exists? Thanks

Hmmmm "Connection timed out".

 

This does suggest the domain remains registered and there is a server problem. Perhaps they haven't paid the hosting bill this year. 

 

You may find a copy of the site available to grab on the Way Back Machine, so the data may not be lost even if Martin is no longer able to keep the site up and running.

Great call Mike. Many thanks.

 

I had forgotten about the way back machine. Looks like there are some options there to view the site.

 

Cheers.

FYI there is a Les Allen Owners Group on Facebook, in case you are not aware.
