butty at Shardlow

[pete harrison]

A friend of mine visited Shardlow yesterday and saw the exF.M.C. Ltd. motor TROUT tied with an unidentified butty. Does anybody know which butty this is ?

LMS Nora, or Willow Wren Dabchick

It's Dabchick

Thank you very much.

 

I have not seen DABCHICK for about 20 years when it was still in trade as a hotel boat. I have some photographs that were taken by the late Clive Guthrie when DABCHICK was an open hull at Great Haywood on 21 February 2001.

 

edit = as mentioned above DABCHICK was built as L.M.S.R.'s NORAH, and was one of only six of this type to built by W.J. Yarwood & Sons Ltd. with a cabin a full running gear.
