    Default A bit of local history - The Titanic

    Just found this,

    A replica stern anchor from the Titanic is coming home, pulled by 20 Shire horses. We also made the chain too. I'll probaby have a walk up and have a look-see over the weekend.

    Here's a few links if you're interested.

    Interesting info Andy. I knew the chain was made locally, no idea the anchor was too. I'd go and have a butchers myself, but I heard there are some undesirables that live in Netherton (two at least).

    Park your car at mine and we'll have a wander up. I'm thinking of going Sunday.
