Can't find this one. I wonder if it is AT Lemington rather than the name of the tug??

It did cross my mind that the faintly written name on this slide might be refering to the location. I was hoping that someone could shed some light here.

There is a hint of a name on the bow. Any chance of a more detailed scan? Can't see anything on the paddle box.

Not the same tug but a similar background and also similar funnel colours:

Note owned by W Robson at Lemington from 1927. Just a thought.

Keelman has sent me a more detailed scan, but the name is no clearer. Back to the drawing board.

I'm guessing that's Lemington Brickworks in the background...

I think you are right about the brickworks. Kevin sent me a bit of a map to see if I could identify anything in the backgound, but I think it has all been covered by new roads and a B&Q store.

I've also had confirmation from the TugTalk site that there's no record of a tug called LEMINGTON.

Circa 1917.........

Kirton of Newburn owned a paddle tug called BLUE BONNET and Robson of Lemington owned the paddle tug GIPSY KING.

Looks a reasonable match to me ... hull form and same number of flutes on paddle box
