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.
