towed in 1942-1943 by MONARCH. Sold to Gordon
Waddington pre 1954. Possibly owned by COWBURN and
COWPER as MINNIE. Registered at Coventry No 550.
In 1955, she was sold to Willow Wren and her name
changed to TEAL. She was then paired with QUAIL in May
1956 and carried coal from Cannock Colliery to Nestles
Chocolate factory at Hayes, Middlesex.
She was used by the Australian Government Canned Fruit
Board in 1960 and, as a publicity exercise, took a
consignment of canned fruit from Paddington to
Castlefields Wharf, stopping off at various points en
route to deliver the cargo.
Ansells Brewery of Birmingham owned her from 1964 until
1983. They re-named her SQUIRREL and set her up as a
floating pub. She was then bought by Chiltern Chuggers
and her name reverted to the original GRIMSBY. Her
current owner acquired her in 2004 and she was paired
with JUBILEE.
Sold to the Longboat Pub at Cambrian View B'ham
(there in 1988). Recently known as SQUIRREL and at
Marsworth.

NORTHWICH |
B'HAM 1021 |
11316 |

1904 |
hb |
Built 1898 at Saltley,
Birmingham
Northwich was registered at
Birmingham (no. 1021, on 24 February 1899) as having 2
cabins that could accommodate 4 people. According to the
registration this could accommodate: In the after cabin
(8 ft 7 ins x 6 ft 2 ins height only 5 ft 2 ins): 3 men
or three women or a man and his wife and two children,
the children if male to be under fourteen and if female
under 12 years of age; and In the fore cabin (4 ft 6 ins
x 5 ft 11 ins height even less at 4 ft 4 ins) One man or
One woman or Two children, the children if male to be
under fourteen and if female under twelve years of age.
After more than 50 years of service with Fellows, Morton
and Clayton, Northwich was sold to the newly
formed British Transport Commission in 1949 (Docks and
Inland Waterways Executive), which later became the
British Waterways Board, and was again registered at
Birmingham but this time with only one cabin for 4
persons the fore cabin had been removed and the back
cabin enlarged to 6 ft x 10 ft. Northwich worked
from Preston Brook on the Trent and Mersey Canal, often
carrying aluminium for Rover cars at Wolverhampton or
chocolate crumb to and from Cadburys factory at
Bourneville. Sometimes the sacks of crumb would split
and so it was possible for the boatman in his family to
have a bit of a chocolate treat! Withdrawn from service
in 1963 as one of the oldest vessels afloat on Britains
canal system and the most historic example of her type,
Northwich was selected for preservation and
display at Stoke Bruerne. The original restoration was
carried out by British Waterways themselves and
consisted of rebottoming with elm boards, construction
of two cabin shells (to provide a visually correct
appearance) and replacement of gunwales and cloths to
suit. In this first restoration, authenticity took
second place to economy. When the Museum opened in 1963
Northwich was displayed afloat, restored to her
original Fellows Morton and Clayton colour scheme
(before the change to red, green and yellow, which
occurred in the 1920s). Shortly afterwards, she was
floated into the resited boat weighing machine at Stoke
Bruerne to demonstrate a vessel being weighed in the
drained lock. In 1973 she had a refit which included
completely replacing her bottom, again with elm board.
In 1980 she was restored to a floating exhibit at Stoke
Bruerne with a traditional boatmans cabin fully fitted
out and a more unusual fore cabin also on view. This
time she was rebottomed with steel plate with the object
of reducing maintenance. Thereafter she toured the canal
system as a roving exhibit, spending time on loan to the
Boat Museum, Ellesmere Port, and the Black Country
Museum. During early and mid 1980s, she was often paired
with the restored steam narrow boat President (built
1909). In 1988 she became a permanent floating exhibit
at Gloucester in time for the opening of the Museum.
In 1989 the bottle stove was replaced with a
newly cast copy from specially commissioned pattern
allowing the stove to be used and replaced as required.
In 1994 the National Waterways Museum took the
opportunity of a major docking to improve the historic
correctness of Northwich. This time the
restoration included a highly authentic main cabin
interior based on sound knowledge of the correct
construction materials, techniques and fittings of the
1920s. The top cloth tarpaulins were replaced with
cloths in a natural fibre as they would have been
originally. BCN registered '00. Northwich

Built by B&K. It was
never paired permanently with a motor but was used as a
general purpose butty. It was often steered by
Tony Cartwright who recalls it being used to transport
munitions around Birmingham during the war. It
was derelict when Martin Fuller bought it in
1975. He rebottomed it in elm and rebuilt the
swim. The present owner, Tim Hutchinson, added
the hydraulic drive in the ellum in 1995.
Now with under cloth conversion based at Battlebridge

ILKESTON |
B'HAM 1273 |

Built by B&K. For 33
years Ilkeston travelled the canals carrying all sorts of
cargo until, in 1945, she was sold to the Bridgewater
Department of the Manchester Ship Canal Company for
�344. With
her cabin and gear removed, Ilkeston was used as a mud
boat on dredging operations on their Bridgewater Canal.
She was renamed Mud Boat No. 3 (MB No.3), also just plain
No.6. 1975 saw Ilkeston sold to a Mr Tim Wood
and kept at Bull�s Bridge Basin, where an extended back
cabin was added to increase the living space.
Use for a while as a camping boat, later being
sold to a family from Nottingham in 1980, paired with
ex-FMC steamer Vulcan, and used as a home.
But when the wooden bottom eventually became
unsound and leaks were making life unpleasant, in 1987 she
was sold to Nottingham Canal Museum.
A restoration to its original
condition began with the renewal of all the bottom
planking and the removal of the forward cabin.
The boatman�s cabin was renovated and repainted
on the outside in the original Fellows, Morton and Clayton
livery. Following closure of the Nottingham
Canal Museum, the boat was transferred to the Boat Museum
in 1999. A considerable amount of renovation
work was done on Ilkeston and, after extensive research
into similar horse-drawn narrow boats, running blocks were
added to take the towline to a T-stud in the back cabin
roof (through the framing at the front of the slide hole). This allows
the steerer full control over the towline.
Now paired with FERRET at Ellesmere Mus. Pic |
