Does he want to know the name of a marina on the Macclesfield Canal where a boat with a bench on is moored?

sorry poor pics would appear to be number on bow and Stewart & Lloyds on stern

Thanks the photos are from dad's collection I have copies of the ones he scanned from his slides, When he passed away the boxes of slides were given to Laurence Hogg sadly he has also passed away with all his knowledge, I am unsure where these are now May be with Braunston cancelled we could have a virtual event and I will post some more of dad's photos and other could also post then we all get our fix of historical narrowboats

Richard Parsons went off and set up hotel barges in france in 1966, and I believe cruising waterways all over Europe and further Not sure which TC boats are in these photos whether Dane or Towy are there. Spey is on the bank

The pictures were taken in 1961 "The Battle of Stourbridge" Why was a Forecabin added to the boat and when

Is the boat Dane or The Dane? Or is this another boat

He said it was a "Green" boat

the recording of last night can be found here

Podcasts are here

Good to see these unsung women recorded, my mum was given all kinds of jobs to do From looking after the boat even when stuck in a lock (Stourbridge 1961) or driving her minibus full of logs or old newspapers to raise money for the Droitwich Canals Looking at some of the pictures of canal digs I sure they are different today. spent many weekends in mud and even driving dump trucks at the age of 14

“I Dig Canals” was a phrase used in the 1970s by canal supporters. The project is all about hearing and saving stories like these. On Sunday at 6pm on Alarum Productions will premiere a short film and book about saving our canals on

Whilst attending the #TwitterSteamRally someone post the picture of an old fair ground organ with canal pictures, don't know how old it is or where the pics are

Or may be some else has "borrowed" their boat

The nickname of “The Crow” comes from Jim Crow, the owner of the chemical works, which had its own branch that had a junction midway in the flight. Jim Crow's company was Albright & Wilson (a company who manufactured phosphorous for the production of match heads) http://www.whatliesbeneathrattlechainlagoon.org.uk/?page_id=2533
