Torksey in the 70s

[dsweetman 49]

My uncle had a boat on the canal there, we used to go at weekends. What was the pub opposite, was it The Swan?

 

what was the name of the boat?I used to spend some time there in my "uncles" boat.I remember it as quite a "boozey" meeting!

My parents had a caravan at the back of the white swan in the 70s, Still love to visit that pub, My dad currently lives on the Elms

I'm so old I can remember when Torksey had a railway station....

 

Yes Mr. H. I think some trains left Sheffield Victoria at some unearthly Sunday morning hour. Were they 'fisherman's specials' or went somewhere else after Torksey ?
