After 1965, ACHILLES was purchased by the Birmingham & Midland
Canal Carrying Company and used to carry cargo alongside the motor
COLLINGWOOD until the 1970s.
Today, ACHILLES is one of the few �Star� class butties to
survive in their original form. Her interior is currently an empty
shell, but is sound and watertight. The original elm bottom has been
replaced with steel.

to London until 1948 when British Waterways took over. By the 1950s,
she lay disused in the Wendover arm of the canal until the Union Canal
Company bought her for carrying and use on camping holidays. The wooden cabin was restored in 1972.

ex trip boat butty converted f.s 7/94. deconverted and at Middlewich
10/00.
She worked for the company until nationalisation in 1948, then for
the Docks and Inland Waterways Executive, then British Waterways
Board, then was leased to Willow Wren in the 1960s. Sold into private
ownership in 1967. After languishing
in the Wendover Arm, she was acquired by Stroudwater Carriers and was
paired with COMET, steered by Jim Marshall, and carried retail coal in
the early 1970s, with Ian Kemp as crew. In the summer, Jim used her to
carry passengers as the Chester Packet, pulled by Snowy the horse, and
she was converted for this, with a small cabin extension, in the mid
'70s.
After time as a houseboat on the Macclesfield Canal, she was
acquired by Ian Chambers, and a new steel bottom welded on in 2002 at Malkins
Bank. The present owner acquired her in 2003 as an empty
shell, and commenced restoration to working condition, working from
copies of the original H&W drawings. She collected all the timber
required from Queen's Head on the Montgomery, and the running gear was
built at Godalming on the River Wey, with ironwork made by Ian Kemp.
The rudder was also restored and new cloths fitted. Shutts for the
hold were finished at Newbury, and cabin restoration commenced in
spring 2005 with a new outer skin, and internal fitting out is still
continuing.

After delivery in 1936 Brighton�s path followed much the same one
as Nuneaton�s. 1948 saw Brighton nationalised into the B.T.C. (D.
& I.W.E.) fleet, and active carrying service through B.T.C. (B.T.W.)
and into the ownership of B.W.B. in 1963. Willow Wren C.T.S. Ltd.
hired Brighton from B.W.B. until 1967, when along with 35 other boats
she was repossessed and shortly after disposed of. Brighton's new
owners, Union Canal Carriers Ltd. of Braunston, operated a number of
carrying narrowboats as camping boats where youth parties would
holiday in the hold of the boats underneath the cloths. Brighton,
usually paired with the motor Bexhill, introduced thousands of
youngsters to canals over the next few years. Many will have read the
discussions in the waterways magazines about the importance of this
sort of exposure to boating for young people of that time. 1983 saw
the next ownership change, when both Bexhill and Brighton were sold to
the actor James Warrior. Both boats continued to be operated as
camping boats at Rickmansworth, though with limited success, as later
the same year both were sold to Threefellows Carrying and based on the
River Soar at Thurmaston. Both boats were put back to work carrying
deep loads of gravel along a short stretch of the river. Brighton
developed a reputation at this time for sinking rather than loading.
Threefellows carried out the first steps in her restoration (but only
what was essential), and continued to work the boat hard. Threefellows
sold Brighton in 1990, so passing it into private ownership for the
first time. Nigel Heath continued the slow restoration process with
structural work being done to the hull as well as replacing the wooden
cabin with a slightly extended steel one, by Roger Farrington (Ivy
Bridge Marine) of Braunston. Brighton still did a small amount of
carrying, though more recreationally than commercially. The Narrow
Boat Trust Ltd acquired Brighton in 1995, immediately replacing many
of the knees (to hold the sides and bottom of the boat together). The
restoration of Brighton is ongoing, although the fitting out of the
cabin has recently been completed and painted in traditional style.
Like Nuneaton, Brighton's carrying future has been secured, but a
great deal of work remains necessary to maintain the boats in a proper
state. Brighton's most prominent activity may have been last year,
when The Long Haul saw it bow hauled by the Narrow Boat Trust and
Cotswold Canals Trust from Oxford to Worcester for the National
Festival. |

fore end now 45ft tug 4/95; stern now fully converted 50ft motor
.f.s.7/91 & 8/90 (following information supplied by Andy Price:-
From
what I can gather the original Dodona was cut in half in the early
60s. The front was turned into a tug for BW and currently is moored
close to the bottom of the Watford flight. The back end (my bit)
languished in a BW yard in the midlands until the 1970s when it was
converted into a 45ft 'live aboard' with the addition of a traditional
stern. The original butty stern now being the bow (complete with
historic dent which can be seen in some old pics of the boat). The
boat was at this time renamed Stanfold. I bought it from a friend
about 18 months ago. He had lived on it for 7 years and had discovered
the original identity of the boat (thanks in part to the
aforementioned historic dent) and registered her under her original
name. Due to BWs lack of permanent moorings she currently spends her
time chugging between Leighton Buzzard and Berkhamstead on the Grand
Union. |

She worked for the GUCCCL and later British Waterways, paired with
motor ELSTREE on the London to Birmingham line. In 1960, ELTON was
sold to Willow Wren, a carrying company set up and subsidised by
waterway enthusiast Captain Vivian Bulkely-Johnson. However, in 1968,
she changed hands again and was bought by David Blagrove, a teacher
and canal enthusiast. He used her in the retail coal trade, selling
from the boat moored on the canal bank.
In the late 1980s, ELTON was repaired and fitted out as a
rudimentary houseboat. She was sold several times as her value
decreased and her condition deteriorated until she was finally
abandoned at Southall in West London in 1994. British Waterways
offered her to a Trust and she was towed to Runcorn by the motorboat
BEN. It was intended that she would be sold on to a suitable
purchaser, prepared to carry out major restoration. So far no such
person has been found and she is currently used as a floating shed to
house the bric-a-brac collected on the Trust's recycling trips.

In 1947, she was sold to the Bridgewater Department of the
Manchester Ship Canal Company where she was used in a constructional
capacity by the engineering department. Between 1947 and 1985, she was
re-named MB NUMBER 5.
In 1985, LEPUS was restored, shortened to fifty-seven feet and
converted to a motor. The work was carried out by Black Country boat
builder David Harris.

(2007)Rope-man Ben Selfe, who works on his boat at Saul Junction, has recently made all the ropework for Ma Costa's Dutch barge in the film The Golden Compass, which is based on Philip Pullman's novel Northern Lights. Ben also skippered the barge during the filming.
It is an interesting coincidence that Ben's workplace and shop, the 70ft engineless butty boat Lyra (circa 1935), shares its name with the young heroine, Lyra
