The Skinner’s lived on their boat, Friendship, at Hawkesbury Junction near Coventry, and now, the boat is on display at the National Waterways Museum. If you are interested in seeing Rose’s original crochet pieces, they can be viewed at Audlem Mill. The leaflet price includes a £1.50 donation to the Shropshire Union Canal Society.
Rose Skinner’s Cabin Lace
If you are able to crochet, you can follow the instructions for Rose Skinner’s unique cabin lace design. Rose and her husband Joe were the final horse-boat owner boatmen, and they retired in the late 1950s.
