Summary[edit]

Description
English: Narrowboat "Hadley" No 147 (detail). On its own private mooring south of the lock on the Trent and Mersey Canal is this restored 72 foot old working boat, "Hadley". The boat was originally built by Harland and Wolff in May 1937 for the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company, but is seen here in British Waterways colours following its most recent restoration. The hull is wrought iron and riveted. It is showing the BW number 12734, but maybe this should be 69581, the former number being the Grand Union gauge number. It was paired with the wooden hulled butty No 287 "Hagley" http://www.confusion.org/narrowboat/hagley/index.html. It was sold to Willow Wren and used in the 1960s renamed "Rail". A Lister HA2 diesel engine was fitted by Willow Wren in 1968; I do not know what engine was in previously. It later reverted to "Hadley-Rail" then back to its first name after being sold into private ownership in 1971.
