Notes
Boyd Coleridge’s fishing property was built by his father Peter circa 1930. Coleridge applied to the Fisheries Heritage Preservation Program (FHPP) in late 2005 to restore his slipway, which needed cribbing to restore functionality. The principal work undertaken was to replace rotten lungers and boards. This was accomplished using locally cut timber processed at a nearby sawmill. By early summer 2006 the project had been completed, and the results were excellent, leaving the slipway in first-rate condition. With functionality restored, this slipway and its associated stage are now made useable for hauling boats. The FHPP helped this historic fishing premises more closely resemble its original look, and allows it to contribute to the overall heritage area in which it sits.
