"Roger"
|
|
| "Roger" was the
last wooden motor narrowboat to trade on the canal
and has been restored by the Trust, with the help
of lottery funding. It is the sole surviving example
of a narrowboat built by Bushell Brothers of Tring,
who constructed wooden boats from 1850 - 1950. |
|
| "Roger" was built
to transport coal and was operated by the Bray family
and is probably the most photographed narrowboat
in existence! |
|
|
| Although tens of
thousands of narrowboats were built, Roger is now
one of only 40 that remains. Since restoration is
both time-consuming and expensive it is unlikely
that more that 20 of these will survive. |
