I just read your story on couple who walked into Canal on a Foggy nght and picked up the Bugle From 18th of December to note full story.
My interest was raised because my grandfather John Joseph Richard Parsons drowned at exactly same spot at Windmill End in 1902 and my brother fell in at same spot in c.1990 ( survived). I also had two Canal Boat Fires at same spot in c. 1994.I wrote an article called Ghosts of the Canal for Bugle a few years back which detailed my family experiences and a number of other drownings at same locationm.
The one in latest article I did not know about but it adds to the list of strange happenings at this spot.
Miss Phyliss Chandleraged 19 of Bumble Hole and Samuel Crew aged 21 of Church Rd. Netherton and Mary Ann Wells aged 17 of Bumble Hole were people who drowned in fog of X-mas 1914 .
