Walk ahead through the field, boundary to your right, leaving the road behind. You soon pass through a scrubby field boundary. Keep on in the same direction beside the right-hand hedge, passing beneath the electricity wires. Near the end of the field the path continues in the same line, going beneath trees in the field corner to reach a kissing gate. Find someone to kiss, as appropriate, then continue as before, re-crossing the River Tone. Archive footage is the speciality of Roundoak programmes made by Nynehead’s Robin Pearson. Old Pond has been able to offer the popular Bedford DVD for a number of years. The other titles are new to Old Pond distribution. Somewhere in that company, the old Logo was found, that used to be on the Brentford building. Unfortunately, it had deteriorated quite a bit, but it now is restored and is due to get a place of honour again. Now there are a lot of stories about the Brentford building, but unfortunately not much proof. And what about those fabulous pre war petrol filling stations where vehicles drove in underneath and the pumps were located inline with the pillars holding up the overhead first floor structure. Some exist down in Devon on the old A38 and elsewhere, more than likely now with a car dealership or some other non automotive function now in place.

Beautiful trees flank the route of what was the Grand Western Canal. The nearby railway rendered the canal commercially unviable. This section is now a lovely footpath (Image: submitted)The lovely sunken path now goes through the verdant woodland of Stedham’s Covert; follow it, ignoring any animal paths going off. The path bends right then left, and in less than 200m emerges from the trees. Ignore a right fork (if you see it) and stay ahead on the path, which gradually bears left then swings more distinctly left. To the right of the path is a treed boundary with a field beyond and houses on the outskirts of Wellington beyond that. You may also spot a passing train.
This is a new company, not involved with tyres, certainly not racing tyres, but still part of what was Firestone, now owned by Bridgestone. Parking is nearly impossible, but there is a footpath that you can take from the road down to view the boatlift. It even has an info board erected by the Friends of the Grand Western Canal. Hi Chris, bought the book from Nynehead books Sunday, arrived this morning Wed. Well researched and very informative with a good supply of pictures and maps. Mine came on Saturday and I looked at all the pictures which took an hour or so, and realy enjoyed seeing and in some cases remembering.Recovery vehicles: Talks about some trailers but some really good stuff on the 20 and 30 ton Pioneers - including the painful process of separating the trailer from the tractor.. There is also some stuff on the 40 ton trailers towed by Diamond Ts if you are into that sort of thing.
Great Deal
