Dizzy Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 How did you know he had two wooden legs Algy and more to the point how on earth do you know his name Grapps.... surely you are both not that old that you remember him I have no idea where it is as I was going to say Walton Locks but it's nothing like that. Definately a small canal or river crossing point if only for the workers. Yep Dzyy state the blindingly obvious I hear you say Doesn't look like the Bridgewater so how about Sankey Canal over near Penketh as that's not very big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Yeah... what a wild guess As for the gents missing feet... thanks Cleo I hadn't actually noticed that, maybe I need a bigger monitor and some glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok Dizzy, lovey. It's surprising the things you don't see in a photograph until someone points them out to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
