Title: Edward Wenlock and Family on Narrowboat
Post by: David Posnett on Tuesday 08 September 20 08:01 BST (UK)
I wondered if it could be restored?

The member said "My Great, Great Grandparents and Great Grand parent Edward Wenlock on “Baron”"  :)

Gosh thank you all!  And Japeflakes, what a brilliant find, how amazing to have sight of the boat so many years later.  I'll pass all the restores (and the find) on to the member.  She will be thrilled!

Thank you Japeflakes, I passed your Baron photos link to Annette and she's now seen more photos of her lovely boat.

Itchthy (great name) and Ian, thank you for your restorations, Annette will be spoilt for choice :)
