Anyone able to identify this boat, photographed in Circus Field Basin, Aylesbury on 14/03/18? Looks like a GUCCC boat, converted and possibly shortened (or that might just be the telephoto effect). Looks like it might have the original cabin on the back.
Oh lord preserve us, not the same Alf Roberts that plagued railway preservation forums with batty ideas about turning a sliver of the Dunstable branch into a heritage railway?
How about MILTON MAID? Or does her unconventional design mean she isn't a Carrying Narrow Boat in the conventionally understood sense?
A couple of shots of DUSTY here. I'd say she was purpose-built from the look of her but couldn't say for 100% sure.
Ha! I was about to post a picture of that same butty that used to be with Hesperus. Thanks for info on Hardy Ian.
Yes I agree it looks like Taunton. The windows on the conversion are very distinctive. Cheers.
I have a few long term residents of my "unidentified" file of working boat photographs. I'm hoping some of the knowledgeable folks on here might be able to pin down their identities. This first on is a converted wooden butty photographed at Kidlington on the Southern Oxford in 2013.
