![Moored narrowboats north-west of Huddlesford, Staffordshire. Narrowboat 'Starling' with her butty 'Ethel' are moored on the Coventry Canal by Streethay Marina.[[[7350408]]] by Roger D Kidd – 20 September 2016](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/35/02/7350202_9f8a9fb9_120x120.jpg)
![Starling and Ethel near Huddlesford in Staffordshire. Narrowboat Starling with her butty Ethel are moored on the Coventry Canal by Streethay Marina.The seventy feet six inch (20·5 metres) long working boat Starling was built by Yarwoods in May 1936 for Cowburn and Cowpar Ltd. She was shortened to 40 feet in the 1960s (the middle thirty feet used for a boat called Louise Jane) then relengthened in the 1990s.The unpowered butty Ethel now paired with Starling may not be the original Cowburn and Cowpar's Ethel. This one is an ex LMS boat built in 1930 and has had various names.The Historic Narrowboat Club website has fascinating information, including this:The main cargo carried was carbon disulphide, but other products carried to the Courtaulds sites included acids, solvents, acetone and oils carried in drums or glass carboys. Salts and lime were carried in hessian sacks and caustic soda was carried in drums. Return traffics tended to just be empty containers and carboys. The hazardous nature ofcarbon disulphide led to the introduction of pairs of cylindrical steel tanks being fitted to some of the boats between 1935 and 1936. When the tanks were put in, all boats were equipped with a flood valve in the fore end port side to enable the boat to be sunk quickly in the event of fire. The tanks were kept full of liquid at all times and the carbon disulphide was displaced with water under pressure on delivery. After discharge the boats returned to Trafford Park with the tanks full of water.In 1951 the Courtaulds traffic to both Coventry and Wolverhampton came to an end and after that the only cargoes carried by the fleet was coal to Trafford Park and Broadheath. https://hnbc.org.uk/w-h-cowburn-cowpar-ltd[[[7350408]]][[[7350402]]] by Roger D Kidd – 20 September 2016](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/35/10/7351041_64732268_120x120.jpg)
