Leeds and Liverpool boat Peace?

[Guest]

I think scene is L&L leaving Appley lock for Parbold. This short boat appears to be called "Peace" although the name is not fully visible. Anybody know anything about her? Was taken by my step mum in late 60's/early70's

There's a pleasure boat company that has boats that opperates from Parbold and gives trips on the canal in the summer. Looks like it could be one of there's.

 

The current boat is Rose of Parbold.

I think Peace was formerly Appleby's A38, which then became Albert Blundell's Shirley, and then sold to Michael Sampson to become Peace. A38 was certainly in the best condition of all the A boats in the 1970s. Albert sold her in 1972 or 1973.

Thanks good people

Sorry, Peace was formerly A39, not A38, so one of the boats used on the Wigan Power Station run and consequently in poor condition when sold circa 1973.
