Hand painted
house wares gaily decorated in primary colours in the traditional
“Roses and Castles” style are in stark contrast to the
harsh and exhausting family life, living and working on narrowboats
on the canals in those early years.
Collectors’ items include a variety of replica boats used
for work and pleasure, the traditional ribbon plates and bridge
plaques for Huddersfield Narrow Canal, Standedge Tunnel and the
South Pennine Ring.
