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.
5x expanded by MIDI (talk). Self-nominated at 00:23, 15 January 2022 (UTC).
Checked with DYK check and Earwig's Copyvio Detector and everything looks good. Hook is from an offline book but MIDI was kind enough to provide a substantial quote from the source and it all seems imminently plausible. Love the hook, substantial article that covers the topic well. Gamaliel (talk) 00:59, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

Promoting ALT1 to Prep 1, unfortunately, without the image. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:54, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
