Does anyone know why most of the banks on the Shropshire Union canal
have an underwater shelf sticking out about 6-9 inches?
It seems a bit daft to me as I struggle to stop my boat bumping
against it when mooring and today have purposely chosen a short
stretch of Armco where there is no shelf.
I note that most long term moorers on this canal have small car wheels
and tyres floating in the water to keep them from the bank.
Because the banks in question are all concrete construction I presume
that they are relatively new.
