Boat called The Green Man

[canalboat]

Does anyone know a boat called "The Green Man"?

A postman in Hillmorton asked if we knew one as he had a letter addressed to a canal boat of that name.

Don't know where it is at the moment but a boat of that name exists.  Very distinctive appearance, absolutely covered in solar panels with a high aerial array on the roof.

There was a boat of that name moored for many years at Barnton near Northwich. A small wooden tug built in the 1980s by Ian Riley & A.N. Other at Runcorn ,the timber used in construction  was Greenheart which may have influenced the name. Like George I have no clues as to its present location. Sorry , not a  very useful post!

Different boat to mine which is a fairly modern steel narrowboat.

 

Now we know there are two about! ?
