A glance back at Lydney Docks (General)

If you want to see more pictures of the Black Dwarf, they are in the 2001 booklet "A glance back at Lydney Docks" by Neil Parkhouse, ISBN 1 903599 00 8, issued indeed by Black Dwarf Publications of Lydney who have now gone in with Lightmoor publications. Still available for £7.50 - see www.lightmoor.co.uk, where it says the vessel was named after Sir Walter Scott's novel, which doesn't seem surprising as she was previously registered at Scottish ports. In her Lydney days, the boat was also the subject of paintings, one of which I saw in Buckinghamshire. From the available literature it appears that William Jones of Lydney bought Black Dwarf in 1890, re-registering her at Bristol, and she seems to have remained in his company's hands until decommissioned in 1942.
