I haven't been to Shrewsbury in years and that area still looks lovely. Good finds by the crew, but more-over you did another outstanding job cleaning up the waterways. I love you folks, you're all salt of the earth kind of people.
I will try to hit the live next Sunday, last was Mothers Day here in the states. Congratulations Medieval Lady bird for winning the hub today. May it grace somewhere fun for you.
Guys you keep finding crutches for oars. A rowing crutch is referred to as a crutch and the term rowlock was only used to refer to a space cut out of the gunwale for rowing.
In Shrewsbury town centre they are 7 bridges the one bridge call penny bridge aka Kingsland Bridge it's only toll bridge you can see where posh people in Shrewsbury live
I believe the reason you & others find wagon wheel hubs & similar shaped items in the river & canals is due to them being used as crude eel traps when food was scarce and eels were plentiful. Old food scraps are put inside a hessian sack, the sack is tied around the hub, this creates a tunnel into the sack and weight, this is dropped into the water attached to a rope, after a few days the sack is checked for eels and new bait placed in the sack and returned. Probably many lost due to tidal conditions, poor knots & eventually the hessian rots.
G'day guys hope your all good. Im off to the doctor for my osteoporosis injection to help with broken bones l broke both feet now it's not fun but I just have to manage🎉 thanks for the videos to take my mind off the bad shit and have a laugh. ✌️🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Terrific video , You guys and girls pulled a load of scrap out of the water but with it some really good items to add to your collections . Must give glen a SHOUT for his huge tap wheel which when painted looked as good as new . God Bless you all , BIG LOVE , till next time , Stuart in Canada ..
They are good to be on the river bed for fish to lay their eggs in and other creatures. If we collected all the magnetic bits we would have buckets full and the scrap yards don't take it.
