Old photo of Briar Rose

I had a text from Stephen and Jayne on Dolce Far Niente earlier, saying there was a photo of Briar Rose in the January issue of Towpath Talk.  I looked up the online edition, and there it was, on page 17, being used to illustrate a promotion for the new Cropredy Marina.

I'd love to know when this picture was taken.  Judging by how shiny the original paintwork was, I think the boat wasn't very old.  It's not the previous owner steering, either.  I suppose it could have been his dad, who used to go boating with him; but it could be the original owner, who had the boat only a year or so.  Either way, it's nice to have a picture from BR's past
