This afternoon, I'm going to rewrite an article about my Grandfather, George Wiseman. He operated a horse-drawn narrowboat on the Shropshire Union Canal in the 1920s. He was responsible for collecting milk churns from the wharfs and farms and delivering them to the Cadbury crumb processing plant in Knighton. His story was the first article that I ever had published. It appeared in 'Canal & Riverboat' magazine in October 1996. You can read it here: http://richardhill.co.uk/shroppie.pdf
