Description:Fern Cottage was the home of Mr and Mrs Turner from 1932 until 1961. It has remained unoccupied ever since and remains today (2008) in derelict condition. The left hand side of the buidling was Mr Turner's office. On the canal is their house boat.
On this site, Rendel and Jean Wyatt founded the Canal Cruising Company in 1948, which is still run by the Wyatt family.
