My Great Uncle (Wilfred Durnall) was tenant farmer at Cowley Farm in the 1950’s. It’s close to Cowley Tunnel and my sister and I always scrambled down to the towpath and played in and around the steep banks of the canal whenever we visited our Uncle and Aunt. We were only 7 and 11 yrs old and were never concerned for our safety. We were let free to roam and as a 7 yr old, Cowley Tunnel (albeit short for you) represented a real challenge for me when dared to run through it shouting and I found the echoes it made when deep inside terrifying. We always waited to wave at the crew of any working barge that happened to be passing through before we decided it was time to return to the Farm. The bargees sometimes used to moor up after leaving the cutting and collect their milk from the farm before continuing on to Birmingham. I remember the barges were nearly always fully loaded and hearing them them chugging off in the distance. They were sometimes steered by women, often with several children on board. The cutting at Gnosall was long, very deep and heavily overhung with trees, it was often a dark and forbidding place for us young children to be, but still we liked being there. My Uncle told us the it was dug by hand by Irish navvies who lived in temporary huts built alongside the canal. As a child I remember scratching the red hard sandstone with a stone and marvelled at the hardness of it. I found it difficult to believe it was possible for the tunnel and the entire cutting to have been carved out by ‘pick and shovel’ alone. The cutting was originally part of the the tunnel itself, but had to be opened up by several hundred yards because the overlying sandstone was unstable as it passed through the land by Cowley Farm. My great uncle told us that ‘The Navigation Inn’ at Gnosall was named after ‘the navvies’ who lived in the area whilst excavating the canal and laying the railway track for the Shropshire Union Canal and Railway Company. He was then in his 70’s with first hand knowledge of living in the Gnosall area during the 1890’s. We travelled there by train that stopped at Gnosall bridge. What a different place it was then.

Foxes Afloat - me too, but we’d need a ‘Time Machine’ to get back to those times, well over 68 years ago. I’ll always remember Cowley as a rather ‘special place’, that with the exception of daily chugging from the passing barges, was a quiet and very remote place’ inhabited only by rabbits and primroses.

Maybe because I live in the USA, your link will not let me order a canal guide. But I really want to have a map so I bought one on eBay. It is from somebody here that had the same fantasy about living on a narrowboat and cruising the canals. I love every thing about your travel videos. The sites,sounds,drone shots, the history, Dillon, your beautiful narrow boat, and your sunny personalities( even when you are working thru " stuff"). I hope you keep on entertaining and brightening my days. Love you both and Dillon too XOX

He never yaps, only barks in his dreams but he sure has the look and it works. And when we drive about in summer he loves to sing with me. Wherever you are I hope you're all safe. No more falling in the canal. Keep enjoying your travels and I'll keep enjoying them with you.

Our boat is the one moored behind you when you are getting diesel. It's been at Norbury since 1st September getting a repaint, a full set of new windows and someother work. We were there to see the progress last week and spookily told David our choice of tinted windows was made after seeing Silver Fox and your Caldwells video. He even commented he liked them so much he may replace his own. A week later, there you are moored in front of us. Great video as usual, you would never think it was winter.

We were in the BCN last autumn and I got rather fed up having to keep going down the weed-hatch. Not so bad if you can get to the side but on a couple of occasions, we completely lost drive and just drifted in the middle. Fortunately, we didn't hold anyone up. Rubbish is a problem - until you get into the posh bit by all the swanky bars and retaurants by Gas Street Basin - they keep that tidy enough. If you are heading towards Birmingham, I can recommend the moorings at the top of lock # 1 at Farmer's Bridge Junction. There is a tiny arm and there are 14 day moorings there - relatively quiet for a big city, showers, water etc. and the city centre is just a short walk away. CRT office just across the bridge.
