Hancock and Lane

Our beautiful narrowboat, 'Dove of Belgrade' was made 1976 by Hancock and Lane in Daventry, Northamptonshire. Leigh has been reading up on a very good Canal World forum about the history of H&L and discovered that our style of narrowboat with a high canoe-like bow is a model known as 'Norseman'.



In addition, a member on the forum presented a fine piece of history on H&L and here it is, the last advert for the boat builders from Narrowboat Magazine 1984...
