History

Built in 1935 by W J Yarwood of Northwich, BRAMBLE is a narrow boat with a steel hull built for Fellows Morton & Clayton, subsequently passed to British Waterways carrying fleet and then to BW maintenance fleet. She was cut down to a tug around 1960 and has been restored to her original condition.
