Glascote basin

[Tonka]

Finally saw a decent boat in Glascote Basin. Came past this afternoon and saw Canopus which was built by Daventry Harris in there.

Well this is gonna end well.

Well it's going to be very boring absent a photo of said fantastic boat. Perhaps the OP was just imagining it?

 

Anyway, is tinned cat allowed under European law?

Daventry Harris? who is this unsung hero of Glascote.

 

If you're gonna take the Mick, you better get it right otherwise - guess what?

Did a good job to get this to Glascote then, did it come by road?

 

 

[sarahavfc]

Didn't you see the other Dave(ntry) Harris boat we've got in there?

 

Not to mention four Norton Canes, three Yarwoods, a Roger Fuller, a Malcolm Braine and seven Hudsons.

[matty40s]

How's Theophilus coming on??

[sarahavfc]

It's coming out for survey in the next few weeks.

[dave moore]

Cobbett is there, haven't noticed Canopus, am I missing something?

Daventy Harris? Where have you got that from?

 

Who else does he work with?

 

Stevenage Priest?

Well done - I was struggling for any additions, without resorting to other "Daventrys". ....... Daventry Thomas, Daventry Gunby, etc Daventry Ross at Brinklow has just fabricated us a quality new pigeon box - there seem to be a lot of "Daventrys" in the world of upmarket boat building!

 

The pigeon box is of course for one of our Mike Yarwood boats..........

[Ray T]

There is also Daventry Moore the renown boat painter / sign writer.

 

Actually Daventry Redshaw is now based at Tonbridge I believe............................

Don't be a Silly Billy. ;0)

 

Glascote used to be occupied by the legendary German builder ; Essen Husdon.

Have I got this correct-? I may be missing something but -

 

Is the OP some sort of infantile comment on boats built by Steve Hudson?

Fail.

 

 

three Yarwoods,

Ooh, what's the 3rd Yarwoods please?

The stretch and cabin extention of ALBION was done by Daventry Linney i believe.

[Tonka]

Oops. Spellchecker is brilliant at times but not this time. I could have edited the op but that would have made the following posts weird. Did not spot Cobbett. Must be hidden but Canopus was along side Resolute

[sarahavfc]

Theophilus, Tycho & Bream at the moment. Soon to be four, probably five...

I may be missing something but, why infantile? I personally like the look of most S.M. Hudson boats, but they have attracted a good deal of adverse criticism on here over the years, largely from adults.

[Athy]

Wrexham Wain? Tonbridge Redshaw?

 

Richard

Great names in the annals of narrowboat building, alongside such titans as Colechester Craft, Melksham Davis, Barry Island Hawkins and Charlton Fox.

 

Fortunately there are no known boatbuilders from Scunthorpe.

[Starcoaster]

Then there's Richmond Powell of Primrose Hill Engineering...

(Yep, took me all night, but I got one in the end!)

[davidg]

Or Llanfarian Kemp?

 

(You'll struggle to find it, I did.)
