Home Town Walls,

West Quay, Bridgwater, The Fountain Inn, (note the date at the top), next building for many years had a dance venue on the first floor, the sign built into the brickwork lists it as the "Fisherman's Wharf" but known locally as "Oddfellows Hall" further down the green building was another pub "Kings Head" Merchant ships tied up on both sides of the river and steps for access can be seen built into the wall! A short history for anyone interested, bridgwater-tc.gov.uk/history/river-shipping/bridgwater-shipping A large view is best for details.

Number 8!

Cairnbaan, Lock On the Crinan Canal, The canal has 15 locks and 7 bridges and runs from Ardrishaig on Loch Gilp in the east to Crinan on the Sound of Jura at the western end. Opened in 1908, the 9-mile canal was built to provide fast travel for boats from Glasgow to Oban, bypassing the often dangerous Mull of Kintyre. The canal is very busy during the summer months and a lock-side seat is perfect for just watching the boats,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Large for detail! HBM and a good new week,
