Working narrowboat near Macclesfield, Cheshire
Narrowboat "Alton" sells coal, wood and diesel fuel, and rope fenders to boat owners, and has facilities to pump out boat toilet holding tanks. The boat was built in 1936 by Harland & Wolff Ltd in Woolwich. Her British Waterways number was 69770, her Grand Union Canal Carrying Company Ltd (GUCCCL) number was 102. She had 25 tons cargo carrying capacity. http://www.canal-network.com/info/furnessvale http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/alton
The boat is travelling south, and has just passed through the narrow section where a swing bridge (No 32) used to be. I see the price of (red) diesel is 85p a litre. That price varies greatly depending on world oil prices. Tax is supposed to be added if the fuel is for propulsion but not domestic heating of the vessel.
