More on Wellies!


Back in 2009 I reported on my discovery of a pair of concrete (cement) filled wellies embed in the bank on the Stoke Bruerne flight and followed it up a year later by my discovery of another pair near Long Buckby.

On a walk in Cosgrove last week we discovered that the ever resourceful British Waterways maintenance gangs appeared to have another use for their wellies - repairing a leaking drain plug on the Iron Truck in 1982. The new interpretation board has the details. I wonder if it was the same gang.

Wellie saves the day
