Summary edit
| Description |
English: Working Narrow Boat, Shropshire Union Canal, High Offley, Staffordshire. The canal used to provide work, a precarious living, and mobile homes for many in the past. A few working boats still thrive, as does the lifestyle of living on the canals. Seen here with the Anchor Inn in the background, Mal Edwards was the last lengthsman to work the Newport and Shrewsbury canals into the 1960s. He can also be seen on some websites as lock-keeper at Grindley Brook Staircase.
See http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/audiovideo/sites/yourvideo/pages/mal_edwards_01.shtml for a clip from BBC Cymru. If you want some good fenders at a good price I may be able to find out where he can be found. See also: 1344943 |
