Tows Her Home After Her Husband -- Mrs. Sawyer, with David, 4, and Anna, 16 months, in the kitchen aboard the barge. It has every fitting - even a piano! So keen was Mrs. Sawyer to have a home of her own that she towed a canal barge six miles before she hired a horse to finish to journey to King's Langley (Bucks). Once there, a roof was put on and a galley, bathroom, living room, studio, bedroom and nursery were built inside. May 21, 1947. (Photo by Mirror Features).
