Description

A rare chance to own ‘Malvern’, an original 1928 Fellows Morton & Clayton composite butty built by Harris Brothers, Netherton. She is a genuine surviving working boat with strong historical provenance and classic iron-composite construction.

Converted in 1985, Malvern now features a twin-cylinder Armstrong Siddeley engine and interior fit out, offering an excellent foundation for further restoration or sympathetic development.

She comes with a valuable archive of documents, photos and crew stories, making her an ideal project for traditional boat enthusiasts or anyone looking to preserve & enjoy an authentic piece of canal history.
