Woolverstone Marina Wolverstone Marina is the Home of many pleasure crafts. It is also next to the “Cat House” where it was said that years ago was the home to a man who was sympathetic to boats carrying contraband along the river. He had a pet cat which he loved. When it died he had it stuffed and when he could see that no customs boats were patrolling the river put the cat in the window for any smugglers to see, signalling that all was well.
