That's not what the coroner said actually happened at Michael's inquest. There was a rumour to that effect on facebook when the incident happened though.

I seem to recall a few years ago, steel bracing bars and heavy duty mechano were fitted to the towpath side of that bridge. I assume that would also indicate some degree of movement/settling. I believe the bridge only serves Warwickshire Flyboat yard and moorings, so whether maintenance is C&RT's responsibility (which is what I would expect) or Warwickshire Fly, I could not say. I follow the story with great interest, and do hope repairs can be completed. It would be a shame if this issue were to put a block on the visits of Tranquil Rose and similar boats into Warwick. Rog Word on the cut this evening is that before proceeding further (in any direction) the bridge is awaiting assessment (by an engineer one would assume). The bridge also serves Tim Hicton's cottage.

davidg Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Word on the cut is that they did an underwater survey yesterday. It's Higton by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john6767 Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 So given that, presumably the boat on question is 12'6" and is going to wait it out there until the repairs have taken place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
