The boat looks as if it might be a small steam launch. What does it look like on the original, Ron?
Great series of pics - where do you find them?

David, The latest batch of photographs I have just put on the web site, were sent to me by a relative of the artist Lawrence Isherwood.

Wigan Rowing Club?
I thought the town was land-locked!!

In the 1950s the club was very active racing in many regattas. I passed the basin in 1993 when walking from Wigan to Lichfield and was dissappointed that the clubhouse had gone!
