I was fascinated to read Richard Fairhurst's article in the July edition of WW regarding old Waterways guides. I have a set of the first edition blue books but haven't looked at them for years (thanks, Richard for bringing back the memories! - and prompting me to dig them out of the attic).
In recent years I have told several friends that the visitor moorings in Llangollen used to be immediately east of bridge 45 but nobody believed me. Thanks to your article I can now show them book 1, or the photo on page 107 of WW which clearly shows two moored boats. I know the canal at that point does not now look wide enough for boats to pass. I was wondering whether the canal might have been narrowed slightly at that place during bank strengthening works? Also typical boats today are more than twice the length they were in the 60's. Does anyone else remember that wonderful mooring overlooking the town? Phil ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.
