In Search of Starcross
Mark Hosking | Published on 4/8/2026
Having lived aboard the 53' narrowboat 'Starcross' in central England for two years before migrating to Tasmania in 2004. Mark returned in 2024 and set off one day to walk down the Lea Navigation from the northern edge of London to the river Thames looking for Starcross as he had heard that it had been recently spotted on that canal.
A bit of the history of England's canals interspersed with a few stories from living 'on the cut'.
