For nigh on 20 years our permanant mooring has been at what is officially termed Grimsbury Wharf, but which is known to all and sundry in Banbury as 'the Arm'. It is so-called because when they built the Banbury ring road they re-routed the canal leaving this orignial part of the Oxford as a cul-de-sac. It lies behind the Citroen garage, under the billowing chimneys of General Foods. Not the most salubrious of places for your modern boater inclined towards the conveniences of floating car parks. <plug mode on>I write about the place in Narrowboat Dreams, incidentally. <plug mode off> Steve [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
