Throstle Bank


St George's Rowing Club was founded in 1883. The original boathouse was in a field by the Peak Forest Canal at Throstle Bank.

As well as some serious rowing, the club ran day trips to Romiley, Marple and Daisy Nook. After 1905 the HQ moved to a farm at Wood End.

My other ABC Wednesday T posts this week are ~~ Treacle Brow at Hyde Daily Photo ~~ Teithside Tree at Ackworth born, gone West ~~ Turnstone at Sithenah

To visit more ABC-Wednesday T posts go to Mrs. Nesbitt's Place.

  1. The ladies in the boat, the men on the shore? Now that's what I call an interesting turn of events!

  2. Fascinating stuff, but could the ladies get any serious rowing done with those hats?

  5. Although they would probably mean more to "Louis" had he ever actually visited Hyde, he nonetheless enjoys your posts here. "Louis" likes these historic photos.

    At San Francisco Bay Daily Photo, "Louis" continued the theme of his "S" post with the "T" post. HERE is how he did it.
