IN reply to J A Marsden's letter (December 28) about the caravan/canal cruiser built by Creighton Caravans of Nelson.

I worked for Creighton Caravans and can tell him that only about 12 or 13 were made.

It was the old story of multi-purpose things not catching on.

About three years ago a chap in Colne was trying to rebuild one.

I don't know how he went on.

I saw it at the time with Stanley Binns, who sadly died about two months ago aged 86. Creighton was his middle name.
