Historical notes:

Inset plaque records date & memorial to Mrs Coates by the Bangor Corinthian Sailing Club ...'its cast iron canopy is as intriguingly ornate as the day it was first erected (sic)' - local info board ... unfortunately the adjacent wall makes it irresistable as a climbing frame for the local youth, and there is significant loss of material, including some recent damage. ... note & photos J Bolton 09.2006 |
