Boats awaiting restoration at Norton Canes boatyard, Wyrley & Essington Canal
There has been a boatyard at Norton Canes at the end of the Cannock Extension of the Wyrley & Essington Canal since 1846. It was acquired in 1965 by Malcolm Braine who quickly established himself as a leading restorer of narrow boats. He later built entirely new boats. He sold the business in 1986; in 2015 the business moved away from Norton Canes to a new boatyard in Glascote Basin on the Coventry Canal near Tamworth.
Here 4 narrow boats await Braine's expert attention. 'Prince' was an ex-Samuel Barlow motor-boat.
'Asterope' & 'Alphons' were both built in 1935 by Harland & Wolff of Woolwich for the Grand Union Carrying Co. 'Asterope' was a motor-boat, see: https://hnbc.org.uk/boats/asterope. 'Alphons' was a butty but by the time it left Braine's yard c1972 it has been converted to a motor, see: https://hnbc.org.uk/boats/alphons. A 2017 photo of her is here: Image

Josher ‘Dragon’ at Norton Canes boatyard, Wyrley & Essington Canal
'Dragon' was built for Fellows, Morton & Clayton in 1925 by Yarwoods of Northwich. She was acquired by boatbuilder Malcolm Braine in 1965 and subsequently restored to original carrying condition as seen here. In 1970, so about the time of this photo, she was sold into private ownership. See: https://hnbc.org.uk/boats/dragon. FMC boats were generally known as 'Joshers' after Joshua Fellows.
