In 1979 the Inland Waterways Association held their annual Festival on the River Weaver in Northwich. Wiki records that 622 boats attended. I'm not sure of the date but I think it was probably held over the August Bank Holiday weekend. This is the view from British Waterways' Hayhurst Yard looking towards the Town Swing Bridge.
