There's a Peter Nicholls in Braunston, I think they mainly build seagoing craft these days but they used to build narrowboats too.

cheers for that...  i dont know if it is a nicholls as its registered unknown maker...  it was just that he remembers the name being mentioned by his dad when being built...

Does it have a boat registration number or what is it called??

In 1988 , no.

 

Does it appear on the canalplan.org  boat register, what was Tom Shierds listing?

 

 

Sorry, crossed posts

wow that was quick...   had reply from peter and he said its not his build as not his workshops and built differently....   hmmm   the mystery continues

 

Regardless its a tidy looking boat.

 

I've always liked recessed cabin sides.

I was going to add that if it was a Peter Nichols Boat then there would likely be a plate in the bow same as this.

However already confirmed not to be.

Any boat built post 1998 should have one of those plates (obviously not with Peter's name on it) - it is an RCD requirement

 

 

This is the one on my boat :

Hence my use of 'same as this' instead of 'like this'
