Welcome to the Piper Boat Owners club Forum. The Forum for owners of Piper built Narrowboats and Barges and anyone interested in Piper Boats. The owners club is completely separate from Piper Boats. Please feel free to post a message to club members and web site readers.
I notice from the history section (http://www.piperowners.co.uk/piperowners_history.htm)
of Piper Boats' origins at Shropshire Union Canal Cruisers.
I'm writing about some old Frobisher boats, built at Norbury in the early 1970s, and wondered about David Piper's input to those. Was he involved?
Thanks
David wasn't involved in the Frobishers. We started our own business in Norbury village in 1969 and although we did build for SUC in the early days, they weren't the Frobisher class.
