Barnham & Angel 1980's

[Tim Lewis]

Have had a request from someone who would like to contact/find out what happened to a Martin who ran Barnham & Angel in the late 1080's. Does anyone know of him?

 

Feel free to PM me if you feel that the info is personal.

Try John and Sue Yates, they had the pair in the early eighties. Think they still have BUCKDEN.

That will be Martin Cottis who operated BARNHAM and ANGEL with Anne Edmunson from late 1988 to 1993, trading as Metropolitan and Midland - first set up by John and Sue Yates, London.

John and Sue had Angel and Antares at Battlebridge Basin in the early eighties. They now have Buckden which often tows Saturn to various northern events. Middlewich and Northwich recently.

True - and they bought BARNHAM in 1981 which they restored as a carrying boat. They then became the Southern Agent for Ashby Canal Transport.

Always known as 'Coal Boat Martin'

I saw him a couple of years ago being interviewed on TV. He was the spokesman for a group of barge dwellers on The Thames in London. Think they were facing eviction at the time.

Got a picture somewhere of Josh sat on the cabin top but I can't find it at the moment - actually it might still be on a slide and not scanned yet.
