[Talk-GB] Isleworth Ait, W London

[Edward Catmur]

It is (or was) used as a workshop or something similar, I think. It might
have been moved occasionally, but that was definitely its usual mooring
(might still be, I haven't been that way in a while).

The banks on that part of the channel are shingle (and can be walked on in
places, if you can find a way down). I don't see why that would matter to
industrial usage, though.
