As a resident of Nottingham who had visited the Canal Museum a few times, and when the site closed in 1998, I had no idea where their exhibits where transferred to. By sheer chance I happened to do some research tonight and see that the National Boat Museum holds these collections. Do you have any photos of these exhibits as I am not sure when I will be able to get across to the museum as its such a distance from me in Nottingham.
