Ian's 1969 Photos 


In 1969 the Petchey's and Millers hired a 60ft or 70ft long narrowboat in the Rugby area. 

 
1969 - Ian age 14 - on top of the narrowboat Tim (14) just prior to going under a low arched bridge the likes of which we often jumped on and off the narrowboat. 

 

The holiday group. All (11) lived on board for the week in May (we had snow one day!). Tim, Ken, Doug, Peter, Joy, Karen, Glad, Marge, Richard and Paul.
