Characters of the BCN

 Characters of the BCN

In my enthusiasm to track down the locations of the BCN I realise I often overlook the faces which used to be seen around the regions canals

I have a terrible memory for names so this page is devoted to remembering these individuals,  and help me remember who they were!
