Canal boaters pay Bradford a visit
Here’s an entertaining blog post from a chap who used to live in these parts, and hasn’t been back for decades. He popped into BoA while boating through the other day, and wrote:
“At Bradford Lock we halted for a shopping trip to dear old Sainsburys. Might as well take a walk into town while we’re there, she said, and we found it much as we’d left it 35 years ago. In fact it’s much as we’d have left it hundreds of years ago. The Bridge has been branded UK’s Top Tea Room 2009, topping the Ritz and all London’s top hotels and even Bath’s Pump Rooms, so the sign says. What a lovely place to find near the Kennet & Avon canal, well worth the half mile walk from the boat. Smashing place, nice people and a lovely accent is developing as we get closer to our old haunt of Bristol.”
