LB Faulkner was based, as you know, in Leightoin Buzzard. I think their yard was what is now Wyvern Shipping. James Griffin might therefore know something. 2.

I often wondered whether there was any family connection. Local records of those might reveal something. Mike Stevens narrowboat Felis Catus III web-site www.mike-stevens.co.uk Defend the waterways.
