Hi There
I have no boatpeople in my family tree,but I do take interest in our local area, which includes a lot of canals and the Netherton Tunnel Which is only 300yds from my house, there is a good view of the the old engine house and of the canals and bridges,It is now Warrens Hall Park.
Living in this area is a lady who was one of the last people to work with her parents on a narrow boat,I remember her uncle who carried Tar Midsland Tar Distillers in Oldbury in the early 1950's,
send me your email address and I will send you some of the articles she has written in the local paper,and some photographs
