  • My Boat Experience on the Shropshire /Llangollen Canals
    My Boat experience on the Shropshire /Llangollen canals 15th June - 22nd June 2014 Day 1 On arrival at Whitchurch marina we received a very warm welcome by Jane who took us through our handover. Gordon then showed us onto the boat and took us through the safety handling procedures of our canal boat named Hagar. On a glorious summer evening we set off on our adventure along the Shropshire Union Canal. After bridge 32 we came across a set of swing bridges (33 and 34), after passing under 7 more bridges we came across our 3rd swing bridge (number 42) after bridge 43 and after being aboard for two leisurely hours we decide to moor up for the night at Platt Lane. We were aware that the pub at Platt lane was closed so we had provided our own food for the first evening. Day 2 After a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast we set off at 9.10am. After a few more bridges we came to Press Junction, where there is an opportunity to branch off, which takes you to a turning point and a marina. At this point you are also near to Bettisfield Nature Reserve. We carried on along the canal and came to Bettisfield, just before bridge 48 where there are 2 water points and we decide to moor up and top up with water. After our stop for water we passed by Bettisfield Boats, which is a slow section with boats moored on both sides. After a further 8 bridges we arrived at the Ellesmere tunnel, on checking that no other boats were coming towards us, we travelled 87 yards through the Ellesmere tunnel.

VIRTUE A!CD CO., LIMITRD. CITV EOAD ID 3 \\-\84- PREFACE. N revising these pages for separate publication I have been made very conscious, both of the excellence and charm of their subject on the one hand, and, on the other hand, of the very inadequate and unworthy manner in which the subject is here treated. It would be a most pleasant task to me, if sufficient health and opportunity were granted to me, to endeavour to do more justice to the scenery and history of this river; but many difficulties the and I impeded even writing of these short chapters ; have been compelled in some degree to modify their original plan and arrangement, especially as regards the Estuary.

CITY offices: I, LOMBARD COURT. «^ 1335236 TO THE SACRED MEMORIES OF THE PAST PREFACE Having inherited some notes on the Parish of Worthenbury, which I only recently read, I determined, with these and other means within my reach, to write all that I could gather of the history of my parish, knowing, however, perfectly well, how imperfect my work must be, yet bearing in mind Machiavelli's saying that " it was better to do things badly than not to do them at all." T. H. G. P. C(?c Slonj of a (Duiet Countrj) Parisl?, BEING GLEANINGS OF The History of Worthenbury, Flintshire. Although Worthenbury does not appear to have been the scene of any great historical events, yet I hope to put togfether some gatherings which may have interest for those who know it and love it. It is situated on the river Dee, is bounded on the south by Shropshire and on the north by Cheshire, and forms a part of the Hundred of Maelor, or Maelor Saesneo', to distinguish it from Maelor Cymraig in Denbighshire ; it is in the county of Flint, though separated from the main part of it by the portion of the county of Denbigh in the neigh- bourhood of Wrexham, through which one must pass for live or six miles before again touching Flint- shire.
