Worsley Packet House
This area is often regarded as the start of the canal revolution in this country. Frances Egerton, 3rd Duke of Bridgewater, had a canal built from Worsley to Manchester, taking coal from the extensive coal mines in the area. To the right the canal enters 40 miles of underground tunnels, now all disused. However, iron still leaches into the water making it the colour of oxtail soup or builder's tea.

Narrowboat at Worsley
Looking north, across the canal is a boat house. This side the narrowboat is taking on water at one of the water points situated at irregular intervals around the canal system. The style of the stern is known as "semi-trad". Trad (or traditional) has a small stern deck and doors immediately with steps down into the boatman's cabin. The steerer would stand just inside the doors with the hatch open, with the stove at his feet to the left. A cruiser style has a much larger stern deck, popular with hire boats where lots of people can all stand around and socialise and get in the way of the steerer. A semi-trad (as seen here) has the appearance of a trad from the side, but the area immediately in front of the steerer (by the life belt) has a seating/standing area with the hatch into the cabin moved a few feet further forward.
