if you do manage to get up the Teme you will only get as far as Powick weir which is near the chimney you can see which was the first commercial hydroelectric power station to be built in Britain in 1894. The Ludlow weirs were navigation Flash Lock weirs until the railways came to the Teme valley. Sailing Trows from the Severn worked up the river with wheat for the mills from Gloucester returning with flour for the villages and iron bar from Downton for blacksmiths downstream. An 1820's painting shows the old Dinham Bridge with four square rigged trows unloading at Dinham Mill now Mr Underwoods lovely restaurant and other trows at the opposite bank and under full sail up to the Downton Gorge.

Tomorrow Worcester canoe club are holding the " Worcester Ring Challenge" which is a canoe race from Worcester down to Diglis up the W&B canal, down the junction and barge canal then down the Severn back to Worcester, The record so far for a single Kayak is 3hours 9 minutes. This will be a good memorial to Dad who would have been 86 on the 10th July (Tomorrow), I used to be a canoeist till I got MS and would have to loved to be taking part, as back in the 70's I paddled many of the newly restored sections of the canal and spent weekends covered in mud as teenage on work parties in the early days of restoration.

Does anyone know who painted this can, Dad won it in a raffle at an IWA meeting in Birmingham in the early 60's

"Those which spent some period as a conversion and subsequently deconverted would form a separate group, but it would be interesting to see a comprehensive list." Stewart and Lloyds tug Vesta would fall into that group, Dad put a cabin on it in the 60's and it was converted back in the 80's

The cabin was put on Vesta in the early 60's and I think removed by Mike Woodhouse in the early 80's? (he was featured in the waterworld series on ITV) he had a 1936 Rolls Royce Vesta on her way to Stratford in 1964 to meet the Queen Mother. I think Alan Smith and Dad designed the window shutters. Vesta in Bancroft Basin at the opening of the Stratford canal This was Dad's prize for the best conversion at the Stratford Rally, it is still hanging on the wall at his house.

Water skiing!!!!! I think we must have lost ours here

One of my first boat trips was to the battle of Stourbridge 1961, strapped in a childs chair to the deck of Vesta 1936 Stewart and Lloyd tug Boat with all mod cons

The River Pageant to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday will be held on June 11th. The flotilla will start at 11am at the Worcester road bridge and will be televised.(? not sure which channel), I think it will be minus the queen. Going downstream to Diglis and back to the Rowing Club by the race course Hope it does not rain like the Diamond one on the Thames

To let those interested Dad's funeral will be held on 9th May 2016 at 12.15 at Worcester Crematorium Astwood Cemetery Tintern Avenue Worcester, WR3 8HA all welcome.
