Pollution from ships

#47 If it’s the same one where I bought a time share house adjoining the hotel which incidentally also had a spa , then I paid 13000 pound for a 99 year lease for One week of the year, how stupid can one get , I was pushing 50 at the time so why take out 99 years lease ? To crown it all I was made redundant a few months later. However it was really top of the market and managed to sell to the wifes cousin from Haltwhistle who still enjoy it to this day. Just before emigrating to Gods country here. Even sold my Rover car to someone in the hotel and left in the garage for them to pick up at a later date . The house took longer to sell though 2 years. Sent the wife back to change the estate agents and it was sold the next week. Add estate agents now to the list of bludgers.cant remember any piers for ships so maybe a different site to yours as was at the bottom end of Windermere. Cheers JS

#51 was about 30 minutes in the car from Barrow in Furness. JS

The pier I refer to is for the pleasure steamers that ply the length of lake Windermere.
As an aside that dolly blue factory was still in production up till around the mid fifties.

The name will come back to me given time . The hotel was more on the banks of a river off Windermere with a foot bridge at the hotel to the other bank. There were about 50 cottages to the complex. Had a bar on the actual River bank and the whole complex hotel and facilities was considered a health resort with all the facilities. in the 1980s you could rent it out for about 500 pounds for the week if you didn’t use it yourself. The dolly blue was still on the walls of the hotel and was a feature of the hotel itself the swimming pool and other leisure areas were add ons to the original factory come hotel. An old steam train ran passengers from the opposite bank alongside the river , the actual station for such was not in sight from the hotel. Believe the whole area was flooded out once a good few years ago now. Cheers .JS

I used to do some business with a company in Ulverston so drove through there quite regularly, there is a steam loco museum there but never had time to stop and look around.
