At one time in my life it was my dream to go cannel boating in England. You can rent these boats at several places and go on cannel trips. the boats are like a floating motorhome. they have a very small motor so they can do only a few miles per hour as required by law, and when you want to stop, you find a docking place along the river.

Very, very nice. I would have brightened the shadows just a tad in PP, but they're your photos.

Thank you very much Frank.Glad you liked them and some are homes and some are used to sail the canal.I'm not too sure whether there are working boats these days but the photos with the mum and child in are how the working barges would have been in the early days with whole families many with lots of children lived and worked in them and mostly coal was the cargo:

With flat towpaths, historic canal features and rich wildlife, the top locks on the Rufford Branch and Burscough, just through the junction of the Leeds & Liverpool Canal, are the perfect place for family walks, bike rides and bird spotting. Rufford junction is a 10 minute walk along the towpath from Burscough making it perfect for a post-Sunday lunch stroll.

Burscough has a courtyard wharf. During the height of the canal age, the wharf was home to a purpose built as a veterinary centre for the horses that pulled barges along the canal. The site included stables, canal cottage, weighbridge, chop house, warehouse, harness rooms and offices. Today it has been restored and is home to small arts and crafts businesses, shops and cafes. All photographed yesterday.

Jim, these are quite nice. I enjoy seeing the areas in and around where you live. I particularly like the 8th photograph. The personal interaction of the lady waving provides warmth to the entire set of photographs.
