I was at the Lichfield & Hatherton CRT / LCC Huddleston Gathering last weekend & I too saw her passing by on the Coventry Canal.<br /><br />I once heard somebody say that a great historian was not just someone who had researched all the facts, but someone who could capture the "atmosphere of the time".

They must have come down the Coventry, while we did the River Soar.<br /><br />Don't know how long you're staying in Northampton, but there's a nice new marina with secure visitor moorings a little bit further down the river. Take the right hand fork instead of going left to the town lock. £10 a night including electric, and they'll also sell you a one day river licence, which is about £8.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797263033136330290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-91860167109228216802013-09-28T19:08:40.218+01:002013-09-28T19:08:40.218+01:00Hi Brian and Diana,

Maybe Adam has found out more about the side shaft.<br />Ian and Irene Jameisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15619780891302537493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4169865556277364121.post-19988562117676739292013-09-28T18:56:12.938+01:002013-09-28T18:56:12.938+01:00Todays Blog.

I have never been able to find any information about it.Brian and Diana on NB Harnserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08569360123827850984noreply@blogger.com
