Well I've dug out another transparency from that day in August 1982 and can now reveal that the boat in question was the "John Gray" - a horse drawn trip boat operated by the now-defunct Cromford Canal Society between Leawood and Cromford Wharf.

I'll ask some Cromford types at the HNBC AGM on Saturday, if you like.
The pages of Friends of the Cromford Canal might be helpful.

Well how strange... here's a bit of breaking news on this story...

You'll be pleased to know the 'John Gray' is not lost! We bought her back in November but she'd been renamed to 'Muse'. We are planning to change the name back and are in the process of converting her to live aboard.
I've started a blog to document the process - www.nbjohngray.blogspot.co.uk.
