You are 'deffo' right! Didn't look properly. George Harris's motor is the Clematis and the butty a little station boat - Kidsgrove or Ditton I think. I reckon that's Colin on the butty's cabin top. George had the Bilster and the Angel after them. The loaded boat tied in front before the aqueduct looks like a Pimlotts motor. So George Radford, Charley and Ellen Roberts and the Harris family.

George Radford on Tarporley, Jack Roberts and Mrs Roberts on Apple, Janet & Muriel Harris on the emptied motor Bilster and George Harris sitting in the hatches of their butty Angel. Jack Roberts later became the lock keeper at Bosley. Sorry, Charley Roberts - not Jack.

Dolby's Pottery Stoke - waiting to unload feldspar loaded at Weston Point

That's Peter Froud caulking at Preston Brook.

Late Doris – family related. Wolverton early 60s with transistor radio.

Banbury 3 bob (15p) a ton for chucking out and 9/6d a ton carriage. Perks were a crate of sterilised milk from Nick the boilerman and 2 cwt of DS Nuts up the forend for “The Boatman’s Charity” 🙂. The Lengthsman, and his son in the house down Napton, left half a crown (2/6d) under a barrow if not around. If they were around a mug of their home-made wine made reaching the bottom lock hazardous! Banbury took 3 loads a month from Pooley in 1963/4/5. "Nobel" tunnel before the fancy lights!

Not 50 tons. More like 22, but single handed. Remains of Banbury Dairy in 2007 with 3 boiler-room ‘holes’, where you ‘chucked’ it, blocked up. But the 56 lb iron log ring still there!

A more recent "Mason's mark" below bottom gates on the Wilmcote flight. By a mason from the Winson Green/Maidstone prisoners' working party.

Jim Collins at the New Inn and Mrs Nelson at the Greyhound

That's an easy one to answer - No (No 'g').

Mmmm, "Fate of The Knights" - New Netflix Series? Seen together at Sutton Stop around 1968 with Keith Christie. They shared a Severner 'Dove' with Philip Hutchins then. If Peter Froud were alive he'd be the one to reflect on upheavals. The scene with Morton in it must have been shot on a Wednesday - his Braunston/Nelson day/night.

Brian & Rosy Daisy Knight at 21:08 onward. (Relationship upheaval shortly after - not sure of outcome) Colonel Ritchie in it too - even me in a couple of shots.

I have a good digital copy of The Boat People. I don't live in the UK but not sure of legality of sharing - or how that could be done.

'The Boat People'. Rank Pinewood Studios. National Film & TV Archive. Best boating film ever!

Freddie King (or Walters - take your pick of family names!), with beret, on Towy - usually known as Watters. Jack Smith (or Jack Taylor - again take your pick) working locks. Latterly, Jack lived in the fore cabin of Gifford so Freddie tied up against her overnight. Jack well known for eating cakes - when others had fish & chips for dinner Jack had cakes! The black horse's name rhymed with trigger. Paddles probably wound down because they were being filmed?!
