It stood back from the towpath left. I believe it was sold into private hands by British Waterways. Much canal furniture was demolished by B.W. eg. Newlay and Forge Locks cottages. The lengthman's responsibility was extended all the way from Horsforth to Leeds. Ice breaking ceased. Were it not for Barbara Castle, Minister of Transport and Labour MP for Blackburn, we would have lost our lovely canal completely. Remember how Beeching pruned British Rail in the sixties? It nearly happened to us.peter woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535535150947166836noreply@blogger.com
