  1. THe 1965 IWA rallies I believe these were for the 72 ft narrow boats who rallied at Haskayne , rather than on the 62 ft length, Interestingly there were 3 other sites, Botany Bay at Chorley. the main site at Blackburn and on the embankment at Burnley The idea being to promote Leisure cruising at more than a single site
  2. Benbow an Admiralty class built I believe with a counter stern, converted and motorised for James Yates 1965/66 by Malcolm Braine, Sorry no picture
  3. Thank you David a fascinating glimpse into the past
  4. It looked much nicer with a white hull as Swift, I first saw her early 60's with Sir Reginald Kerr stemming her up at the bottom of Grindley Brook staircase on one of his inspection tours,
  5. Given the location my guess would be John Jinks on Severn Dolphin?
  6. Huddersfield Broad to Huddersfield Narrow similar to Bunbury
  7. Remember seeing the picture in W.W, I think
  8. Protest cruise in the ,60s to Hednesford basin by the Staffs and Worcs canal Ssciety
  9. My first thought on seeing the picture was the fleet inn at Twyning on the Lower Avon
  10. My guess would be at the IWA Stoke on Trent Rally 1960
  11. Jason operated from the Canaletto Gallery beyond the toll; mouse bridge on the off side. But no sign of the BW Zoo Boats.
  12. Is this fake news ? There being no locks in Nantwich
  13. Going into Coventry Basin?
  14. My Dad hired a boat from Bathursts at Tewkesbury in 195960 and as far as i can remember the Pershore water gate was removed by then.and Pershore was the llimit. In 1962 after the Stourbridge rally in 1962 we got up as far as Cropthorne. I beleive the gate was removed in 1963.
