Thanks for the reply’s, the last time I saw them on the water was at Leighton lock about five years ago, I gave the chap my number then in case he decided to sell but have never heard anything.My Father did a good number of carrying miles when part of South Midland Water Transport and my Grandfather used Archimedes to move house when they came off the water many, many summers ago so I do have a strong connection, which I would be keen for my own family to share.
I would be prepared to pay a fair price but it wouldn’t be six figures!
