Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal. This is the boatyard belonging to the Teddesley Boat Company. A brand new narrowboat has been brought in by road. The crane has lifted the vessel off the low loader, and has moved and lowered it precisely onto the wood blocks already placed alongside the other boat. The whole process took just under half an hour. All that is required now is to remove the lifting straps and move the crane away.
