The Historic Narrow Boat Owners Club.

Droitwich was blessed with a cornucopia of colour this Easter on the Droitwich canal.

The full beauty of these historical boats is a tribute to the timekeepers, that preserve a piece of British history.

These narrow boats with the canals of England were the life line to the major towns and cities that stretched our countryside.

Whole families lived and worked the waterway, providing the essential goods and industrial material to keep Britian's empire thriving.

For the residents of Droitwich this was a truly inspiring look into the past.

The Historic Narrow Boat Club was formed in 1966 and is a not-for-profit club dedicated to preserving the working heritage of UK canals, from the boats themselves to details of the waterways on which they travel. 

We are passionate about working boats, traditional skills,the built heritage, and the practices and courtesies of the working boat people.

We are an active pressure group for navigational and waterway heritage interests and we welcome all who support our aims, whether boat owners or not. 

By supporting the Club, you are helping to ensure that the UK's canals retain their unique heritage value.

We campaign to ensure that the waterways system is navigable for full length, deep-drafted narrow boats - because where they can go, anyone can go!
