Altre informazioni:
Just before Christmas 2016 the Latham Marina to the west of Burscough near the Crabtree Lane swing bridge, no 32, closed its doors for the last time. The business had been run by Sandra and Tony…..for the last….. years from a static caravan and a second hand shipping container that had been set up on land leased from Thwaites brewery at the bottom end of the car park for the “Slipway” pub that is on the opposite side of the road. This car park had originally been one of the Leeds and Liverpool canal companies manure wharves where night soil was unloaded from barges that had transported it out of Liverpool to be spread on the local farm fields. Tony took over the business after Bill Williams retired. Bill had converted the house here into “The Slipway at Lathom” pub which he also used as a hire base and sales centre for pleasure cruisers. Bill built the slipway that the pub takes its name from and is still in use today to launch and retrieve smaller boats. Sandra and Tony had provided a service of boat maintenance, spares and repairs, and using Sandra’s sewing skills made and fitted boat canopies. Unfortunately during the previous winter the car park became flooded after heavy rains which entered the caravan and the container so Sandra and Tony took it as sign that it was time to take retirement. Over the past 12 months they have gradually sorted out and disposed of stocks of spares and the like that build up in any business that has a long history and have now gone off to relax!
