About The Boat Shop
The Boat Shop is a canal-side shop at Bottom Lock in Braunston, run by Clare and Will Hewitt. The couple took over the long-established business from Fred and Carol, who had run it for 28 years. Clare and Will live locally in Braunston and have deep connections with the canals, having lived on a narrowboat and brought up their children to share their enthusiasm for the waterways. The shop specialises in products for waterway enthusiasts, stocking bridge plaques, horse brasses, waterway prints, waterway guides, and waterway books, alongside stitch craft supplies. A mail order service is also available.
