Building Waterfalls
Hucknall Rotary Club meet in the Horse & Groom, Main
Street, Linby. An unusual feature
of Main Street is that it is flanked on
both sides by small streams ( parallel tributaries of
River Leen) known as the 'Linby Docks'. The brick walls built up to protect the
streams gave a dock-like appearance which led to the name ‘Linby Docks’ being
used. During the Second World War, the
Germans wanting to bring the industrial infrastructure of England to a
standstill, launched a bombing campaign against Linby Docks. The bombs were off-target and landed in
nearby fields.
Wanting to involve our club in a ‘Spring-clean project, I
contacted Linby Parish Council with a view to work on a project in the village
where we meet. Today, was the outcome of
consultation. Hucknall Rotary Club were
able to get involved in building a couple of stone waterfalls in the
Docks. Although hard work, it was
extremely good fun and a great adventure to share in.
