ABOARD THE BLACKCOUNTRY MAN
The Blackcountry Man was originally built in 1948 at Harris's Dock, Netherton, for Stewarts & Lloyds of Halesowen. We believe she is the last full length (70ft) boat to have been built of riveted plates. Originally unpowered, she would have been towed by tug, horse, or plain human muscle power. After initial involvement in general trade on the Birmingham Canal Navigations, she eventually became a British Waterways maintenance craft until, in 1986 she was converted for use as a passenger carrying vessel for the Stoke-on-Trent National Garden Festival and the present Lister engine fitted. Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd (a fully owned company of the Stourbridge Navigation Trust) purchased the boat in 1991 in order to fully utilise the excellent facilities that had been created, after the extensive restoration schemes at Stourbridge. For added enjoyment and comfort we offer our passengers the following on-board services: Cushioned seating; Tables; Fixed head roof; See-through side screens; Toilets; Commentary & taped music by request; Inerior lighting; Wheelchair access; Well appointed refreshments and bar facilities; Meals - hot or cold, if pre-ordered; Friendly & efficient crews
