Round house (Thames and Severn Canal)
Coates round house
- ... that after viewing the Coates round house (pictured), the fiancée of the prospective occupant said she would not marry him unless the canal company made the property more habitable? Source: Offline source in Household (1969), but quote is included in ref in article.

- Checked with DYK check and Earwig's Copyvio Detector and everything looks good.

Love the hook, substantial article that covers the topic well. Gamaliel (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
