g0ozs Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Dear All About 25 years ago I helped a friend from work collect a dismantled cinema organ from a storage yard and workshop in West London. The location was beside a river and I remember 3 or 4 landing craft were out of the water on a bank between the yard and the river. From memory they were about 4 metres beam and 15-20 metres long with a small bridge / wheelhouse so li I didn't drive the van on the day so I cant remember exactly where it was (so can't search google earth) and I sometimes wonder what happened to them - I wonder if anyone here saw them and remembers where ?

Iain Would that be Southall ? If so then I had two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Sounds interesting Bob. What did you do with them? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g0ozs Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Bob I think so - looking at the map it might have been at the pond where Willowtree Marina now is. I dimly remember some kind of Foundry or Iron Works being near by at the time but it would have been earlier than 1992 for sure. I'm also interested in what happened to them - I plotted for years to go back and buy one as a houseboat but by the time I had the funds I already had a car and a house on land !

Bob Grundy Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 So, you have given me another job; find the photos! Which I will of course, maybe a day or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
