Banstead & Bellerophon (built 1936). Bellerophon became Iona and is the horse drawn trip boat at Godalming on the Wey Navigation. Iona also appeared in an episode of Coronation Street.

Keeping Up Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 Fascinating. Is that the handrail of the existing little bridge across the lock tail, just visible in front of the balance beam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During one of my visits to Hampshire we went to meet her and have a look at the horses at the stables and then onto the boat in Godalming. What a really nice pleasant lady she is. We then went to lunch at the little but very flavourful cafe at Godalming boats. Just a small claim to fame that I have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightwatch Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Jenny Roberts is her name. Colin, brother has known her for forty years and remembers her getting Iona. Almost certainly was Jenny in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
