Wow,
I was aver young when this started, I reckon about 9 ish. I remember seeing the braid just before the marina was built and just the other day I was trying to remember the Braid before the marina. Much appreciated. A good school friend lived on a boat here, they vanished like ships in the night ( excuse the pun ) I never knew where they went and lost a good friend but their boat ( the plessey ) I found, awaiting restoration, in the marina at St. Peter's basin marina, Newcastle. I have fond memories of folks I met at the marina. To have this picture showing the before and after though is a fabulous way for someone more my age, to be reminded that it wasn't always pleasure boats entering the river here. Keep up the good work folks, everything so far has blown me away.
