I don't know anything about Harry Dolby the builder of N2884 but George and John Dalby both built excellent boats, and were - are members of Trent Valley.(George lived at Enderby, Just out side Leicester).
The Oadby Owl (at Oadby just out side Leicester) was a very bussey pub and one of the in places to eat and drink during the 1970's.
Anyone ells know anything about 2884 12 Bore Oadby Owl design
