Was just speaking to my mother who was evacuated to W-o-N during WWII & her parents lived there into the ’80’s. I mentioned the Halifax & she said “oh yeah, the propellors are still there someplace”:eek:
She’s going to ask other relatives in the area.

Looking thru the houseboat pics there are several former MTB’s, I remember those when I was a kid.
