The lovely lawn and house upstream from the public moorings were once all part of the same property. I think it must have been sometime in the 1960s or 70s that half of the lawn was fenced off and given to the public as moorings.
My parents always referred to it as Mrs Lindsay's Lawn. I always assumed that the lawn had been split up when she died.
