#canallife — Public Fediverse posts

@ukwaterways
Back in April I mentioned the terrace of cottages on the Bridgewater Canal and the history page I'm building about it. The article mentions "Cotton's Bridge" and includes an old map showing its location.

We were at the cottage back in May and I took these two images of the site of the bridge. You have to be travelling north, having just emerged from Dutton Tunnel to appreciate the narrowing of the canal at the site of the old bridge.

As you will work out the cottages you see to the left of one of the images are part of the terrace numbered 7-12.

I read that using groups is more effective than hashtags for wider circulation in the fediverse.

A new FediGroup is now live. It's for any toots concerning the UK's navigable waterways, whether #canals or #rivers managed by the #Canal and #River #Trust, the #Environment #Agency, the #Broads #Authority or other body.

If anyone mentions the address:
@ukwaterways
in a post, it will be boosted to everyone who follows the Group.

You can follow the group at:

Public posts and replies are boosted. Private messages to the Group are rejected.

Please boost!

Camden Town combines industrial heritage with a modern flair. A graffiti-marked canal lock stands beside historic warehouses and sleek new buildings, capturing the area’s vibrance.
