British Waterways

Sunday 31st July saw us at the National Inland Waterways Festival at the marina at Shobnal Fields, Burton on Trent. I am think hard about purchasing a boat of some description, but not a narrow boat, certainly not at £80,000 a time (new) So me and 'The Bisps' went over to enjoy a fabulous event.

As you can see a vintage funfair is provided for your amusement.

The vintage Leyland Beaver brewers dray was on display. This was from only done the road at the National Brewery Museum.

Here is the dray around the parade ring.

Some vintage motorcycles were also on display.

As you can see from these shots, there is some congestion at the moorings for this event. The large tower in the distance is the 'Coors' brewery.

There were some historic narrow boats on display including steam coal barges

Uhmm, any passing places ahead?
