And still to come .......................


One of our earliest forays into commercial boating was the carriage of crude limejuice for L. Rose at Boxmoor on the Grand Union Canal. In April 1981 Peter Thompson, who among his numerous other attributes is a fine amateur film maker, came with us on a complete round trip shortly before the company relocated and the traffic ceased. The film stock was then lost, but it has recently turned up and we are soon turning this unique record of one of the last regular narrowboat freights into a DVD.
