Kings Langley Day 14

Tuesday 13 September 2011

We left Berkhamsted today Tuesday as we stayed on Monday to let the winds go through. We moved down to Castle Wharf where the timber wharf used to be and moored opposite the site of the old Bridgewater Boats that is now being redeveloped with 2 new warehouse style houses. But the owner of the land who has already converted a warehouse sold the land on the basis that some form of boat related business must continue


The famous totem pole on Alsford (Kays) Wharf giving to the town by the local Indian tribe in Vancouver. In fact we bought a piece of similar art from a local craft shop when we were there in June.

All that is left of Nash Mills is this old loading area although there is an old grade 1 listed building to the right that is being converted to luxury flats. Its not in the photo as I only found out about it when talking to a local whilst waiting at Nash Mill Lock

Something is lurking over the hedge at Home Park Lake
