Boats on the Erewash Canal

There are usually 2 or 3 boats moored on this short stretch of the canal in the summer months, presumably so the owners can use the facilities in Sandiacre High Street. The boat in this picture is much wider than the narrow boats usually seen on the canal here, and I suspect it is too big to pass Sandiacre lock further up the canal.
