I thought this was a canal forum - the hint is in the name.....

I know Seymour Roseblade, along with Birmingham & Midland and Willow Wren did some timber runs from Boston & Wisbech (later transhipped from barges at Newarke) in the early 60's. They delivered to Gimsons at Bede Island (where the rowing club is now) and also to Scotts Timber just below North lock, where this picture was taken. I think it's 1940's. Scotts must have taken over Gimsons yard. Here's a Leicester Mercury photo from 1965:

I'm suprised nobody has remarked on the steerers technique........!
