Boatmaster says skippers barred from saying some lakeshore houses were built by those who profited from slavery
A Lake District boating company has been accused of “whitewashing” history after telling employees not to mention slavery during tours.
Paul Holdsworth, a local boatmaster, had worked for Windermere Lake Cruises (WLC) for 10 years, but quit in “disgust” after employees were banned from making reference to slavery in their commentaries.
