This is, of course, between Old Turn and Gas Street Basin. It's a bit different now

The're good little video's but if you want to buy one they aren't cheep. Average £30 for about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

I thought it must be. I couldn't think of another bridge with buildings on it in Birmingham, but then I wasn't on the cut in 1962. I was in 1973, but only on the southern GU.

Fishery Inn and canalside buildings, Hemel Hempstead/Apsley? 1962

Fascinating, but no Apsley in there.....

 

It is literally the Northern approach into Fishery then through in the correct sequence to not even as far as Station Road Bridge - all of it is alongside Box Moor.

 

The "industry" is the wood yard, etc that stood where there are now lots of blocks of flats, just beyond the Fishery car park.

 

The crane you can see as they look back later on must associate with that yard, and is only a stones throw from the Fishery itself.

 

How different it all looks.....

 

Apart from the industry....

 

No moored boats in sight - the offside above Fishery Lock is now permanent moorings all the way to Old Fishery bridge, and a favourite towpath mooring now for many others, giving continuos cruisers direct access to Hemel station.

 

and

 

Isn't that lovely balustraded bridge a whole heap nicer than the nasty concrete thing that replaced it.

 

Magic!

What a lovely canal to fall in, so much better than an ice covered Stourbridge Canal, full of black oil when my boat shaft slipped and I went headlong under. The children missed it and asked me to do it again. You lot should stop writting, it brings memories of the early sixties literally flooding back.Drying out in the National Engine room.

 

Try British Pathe, Stourbridge Canal Rally 1962, so many enthusiasts like George Andrews and my lovely wife Jocelyn polishing Vestas tiller.

True, but she was very pregnant with my sister, and had her camera around her neck

You are very welcome. But a warning. That site is totally addictive! There is so much of interest there.

Sorry to reply to such an old post but wasnt it George Andrews 'Romulus' that was used as one of the characters in Crossroads' home?

 

Can still picture his large painting of W'ton Boat clubs emblem on the cabin side.

[onionbargee]

As Alan said, no moored boats in sight, which is connected to the other discussion on freight.

 

surprising to see little Venice totally devoid of moorings, something that will never be seen again.

[Steilsteven]

Just found this one featuring war time women boaters Audrey, Anne and Evelyn.
