We were delighted to welcome Fabian Hiscock from Three Rivers Museum Trust who explained about canals in west Hertfordshire before focusing on the history and restoration of wooden canal boats using The Roger as an example. The Roger was built by Bushell Brothers of Tring in 1936 for the Aylesbury coal merchant and canal carrier, Arthur Harvey-Taylor. It is one of the last wooden canal boats in working order and a fascinating part of our industrial heritage.
