Default Alresford Creek.

Hi All

I recently was glancing through a new book published about the River Colne, and in it was an ariel shot of the old railway swing bridge and a motor barge having just passed through to load sand. I was just wondering which ships handled the sand from Alresford Creek, ie was it Priors or RMC maybe. If anyone knows would be interested to know.

Many thanks

Paul

Hi Rick

Thanks for the links you sent. I was just interested as to which ships used Alresford Creek. The motor barge in the picture mentioned is too distant to really identify

Cheers

Paul
