Liam Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I've just rescued a cabin stool from being thrown in the tip... I don't know whether it qualifies being in the history and heritage section as I know nothing about it. I'm hoping somebody does and could share anything they know about it or does anybody recognise the work? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray T Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) The middle bit is a transfer available from various chandlers plus the shop at bottom lock Braunston. I doubt it has much historical significance, to my eyes anyway, sorry. http://www.boatshopbraunston.co.uk/canal-transfers.html Edited March 19, 2018 by Ray T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose Narrowboats Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I think you'll find the roses, daises etc are also transfers from the same range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave moore Posted March 19, 2018 Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 I agree with Rose. Transfers for sure. The bottom edge of the Castle transfer is lifting slightly. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2018 Didn't look at it to closely to be honest as I was more concerned about saving a BCN plate from going in the skip too! I've posted a pic of the cabin stool on Facebook and it has been said the transfers are/were widely available and by Alan Picken. This would tally as Alan Picken owned the boat it originally came off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurence Hogg Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 What was the BCN off? anything of interest? Cheers, LH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J R ALSOP Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 I know the girl who own's Ocean, she moors on Southern GU. If you want to part with plate, I will ask her next week when I see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Thanks Roger but the plate will be staying with the rear half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
