Help on solving our Mystery Boat

[Tom and Bex]

Hi there,

As you may be aware we are currently re-fitting narrow-boat diesel and dust but the more we work on her the more of a mystery she becomes, and so we thought we would seek your help and pick your brains.

 

To start with we'd like to do a bit of a Cilla Black "surprise, surprise" for our boat. We are wanting to get in touch with the following people to find out more about her past, how she was make, how she looked when she was owned by some of her loving ex owners etc....

The following people are:

Mr. Roy Willoughby Who apparently made her.

Mr. Roy Anthony Vennard (HGV Driver)of Rugby who was one of her loving ex owners.

Mrs. Karen Elizabeth Lightwood (mental Health Nurse)Who was also a loving Ex. owner

 

Next we come to the boatman's cabin. The previous owner (not mentioned above), removed the traditional boatman's cabin and replaced it with a somewhat rare and unusual fit out. We are wanting to restore it back to the traditional format it was before but have found that she does not conform to what we would have expected.

The boatman's cabin is 9ft8 long X 5ft high.There is a "unknown" item between the space that the table cupboard would be and the "Bed hole" cupboard. We think it would have been may be a cupboard, full height and is 8-10" wide but really don't know. Any ideas or suggestions?
