I believe she was built at Braunston Bottom Lock.
Photos below, the first is of her when she was in working trim and carrying coal,
the second is as she is now at Warwickshire Fly.
Excellent photos Alan, nice seeing Sickle doing some work.
Below are a couple of photos of Sickle when partly loaded with timber during 2008

Hi,
The Big Woolwich motor Chertsey is the one photographed at Valencia Wharf, Oldbury. She has been moored there for 20+ years now, fitted with a twin cylinder Lister.
Barnham currently moors at Delph Marine, Stourbridge and as far as I am aware is currently up for sale.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Yes Stewarts and Lloyds Tug Number 2 was the former GUCCCo 'little woolwich' motor Algol. There are a few photos below of her at the Stewarts and Lloyds gathering in May 2007, she was restored by Dennis Cooper in 1986 and now moors on the lower Grand Union, (i think)

Hi,
This message should probably be in the "For Sale" section but thought it would get more response here.
A friend of mine is reluctantly selling the Small Woolwich motor Vesta, shortened to 45ft for Stewarts and Lloyds in 1947. To see the advert click the link below

The Zodiac on the waterscape link is the Middle Northwich motor originally named Tucana, she was renamed by BW to Zodiac, so there is now two Middle Northwich's named Zodiac.
