History
Built in 1910 by Prosser at Minsterworth on the River Severn, this punt was used principally for long net fishing for salmon at the nearby Bollo Pool. Although left on the river bank in 1980, it has been partially restored and is used occasionally for fishing. It is part of a travelling display used for educational purposes. November 2007
