Taken about an hour after Image craning is now in progress to lift a narrowboat out of the canal for repair work. The main gantry operates a sluice that allows boats to access a dry dock the shape of which is defined by the polytunnel. The gantries in the distance to the right are on the West Coast Main Line railway.
