Good evening, I am a new member and came across this article whilst searching for history on a narrowboat hull that my wife and I have recently started working on. We have very little information on her, other than that she is called Wagtail and used to be a working boat. At some point in her life she has clearly been extended and has a josher stern the same as the photos featured in this article. I appreciate there were likely many ‘Wagtail’s on the water over the years, but there are some definite similarities, and we have read that the Wagtail in this article came from being extended from the old butty ‘Freda’. I have attached a couple of photos for comparison, if anyone is interested or has an opinion many thanks
