Tylers Lock - Wedding venue extraordinaire reborn from the ruins of a canal pumphouse
By: malcolm pugh
tylers lock-history reborn !!
The new site everyone is talking about, and featuring the now massive cult status Stiffsteiff Teddy Bear family, also contains details of this famous Worcestershire landmark. Nestling on the Worcester and Birmingham canal at Tardebigge, this used to be the pump house for the longest flight of locks in Europe, which still exist, and still work perfectly. Until recently the same could not have been said about the Pump House, however, with sheer determination, one of the country's leading chefs has transformed it into a Wedding /special occassion venue extraodrinaire, and in the process saved a piece of local history intact and secure. The owners would very much welcome any material whatsoever relating to the Pump House and it's history, especially old photos and maps, which could be scanned and returned by the Stiffsteiff expert, or brought in person.
The Stiffsteiff bears site itsselfwill allow you to LAUGH, and have FUN, without resorting to crudity, smut, or porn. This is somewhere your kids can actually go without you wondering about the content, and they will learn new things through following the bears; gardens, countryside, photography, ponds, walks, National Trust houses. I am sure you would rather have them being interested in proper, real pursuits than being cooped up in their room with a TV and a computer for friends. So through their computer they LEARN there are more worlds than their important seeming virtual world. For bigger kids there are superb fully downloadable photos, and the originals can be requested and delivered via email. There are practical, pictorial step by step projects showing how to do various jobs outdoors, ponds, lawns, landscapes, gardens. Also there are computer tips, and an amazing feature where the author of the site, an ex systems programmer will ressurrect cds sent to him deemed ruined; so your holiday snaps might well NOT be beyond repair!! He also fixes pictures, either via email or by scanning in posted snaps, and returning them. The site can be found by typing Stiffsteiffs or "Tylers lock"into ANY search, or by clicking the link below now.
