Scudamore’s were one of the early punt hirer. Punting became especially popular in 1907: Last year there was hardly a punt available, and before that such a thing was not known in Cambridge. Yet this summer every boatyard possess quite a flotilla of these comfortable craft, which were in great demand. (CDN 19.10.1907)
