Welcome
to the Narrow Boat Trust website! It's designed
to be simple to navigate and informative on all
aspects of the Trust and working narrow boats.
The
Trust owns the 'Large Northwich' motor
boat, Nuneaton and the 'Large
Woolwich' butty, Brighton, built
as part of the massive expansion programme of
the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company
(G.U.C.C.Co.) in the mid-1930s. (For more
details of the pair's history go to The
Boats)
They are still
used for carrying traditionally as a pair whenever
possible, crewed by members.
We
give people the opportunity to see a pair of narrow
boats in full working trim, and members to crew,
display the boats at Canal Festivals, the Waterways
System generally, and to look after & maintain
the boats.
