Moored under the Rafters

This was formerly a covered dock basin where canal boats could load in the dry. It is now in a fairly derelict condition in the midst of an area full of smart new apartment blocks. A few people are living on their boats in the basin, and someone has put in some fancy decorative ironwork on the sides, but overall it's a bit of a rust heap and may have an uncertain future. Although it's been like this for years and hasn't gone yet.
