Description: | This collection largely comprises boats and barges used for transport on the waterways and for maintenance purposes. Major items are all floating, some smaller items are housed in displays or on outside exhibition. There are also engines and tools for boat driving and maintenance.
There is a steam railway engine used in association with water side deliveries of coal to a power station.
This is an extremely important collection of boats and equipment for transporting and handling cargo on the inland waterways of Britain. | Subjects: | Transport Inland waterways | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Llanthony Warehouse
