Hiya Ian. I worked on the L&L canal in Coates mid 1970s. Did some of the bank strengthening work side of Rolls Royce. I quite enjoyed working up that way. Got our water for brewing tea from the mill just at the side of the road there, and a few times our dinner from a mill canteen in Coates. Nice dinner too.
