Came past the 2 puddlebanks historicals today, torrential sideways hail meant no photographs, but the butty is seriously compromised and a while before the dry block next to Swindlers finishes the present projects.

The motor a bit further along(Thomas Clayton) seems to be in fairly good shape, with all the salvaged contents a bit further along.

Just came across that by accident here 

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/523005505298984/

If its former owner of a few years back reads that I think they might weep.  It really wasn't in bad shape at all when they let it go. 

 

What a shame!

Those must have been there for years and years and each time we pass (once a year or so) they don't look any better. I once asked on here if they were abandoned and Carl T. indignantly replied that they certainly weren't. But they have never looked cared for as long as I can remember.

 

That's if the "Puddlebanks" are where I think they are: Oxford side of Braunston Turn? The two boats in question would be on the left as you head towards Oxford.
