Colemere Boat House, perhaps early in the 20th century

This picture of Colemere Boat House, perhaps early in the 20th century, was sent in by Mr Meryl Jones, from Ellesmere.

It had been in his mother’s house, but no-one ever knew how far it dated back. Over the years the boat house has changed very little in its outside appearance. Inside it had deteriorated badly over the years.

But it was recently given a complete facelift by the Colemere Sailing Club.

    Hello…Just wanted to say i was thrilled to see
    this photo. My gran Kathleen Jones is on this photo.
    Sadly she passed away last December 2007 aged 94.
    Have found it hard to pick her out in the photo though if anyone can help.
    Many thanks.
