The abandoned ferry keepers house at the side of Hulme's Bridge Ferry, in Flixton, Greater Manchester. Once the home of a gentleman who ferried people across the Manchester Ship Canal in a small rowing boat for a small fee. The current owners of the canal, Peel Holdings, have closed the ferry, some say illegally, as it's a public right of way, and have let the house fall into disuse.
