Barmere and Bonchurch at Fiddler's Ferry
Two former working boats moored on the Sankey Canal at Fiddler’s Ferry (notice the power station cooling towers in the background).
Nearest to the camera is the Barmere, a 1948 Bridgewater Canal barge which was originally used to transport grain from Manchester Docks to the Kelloggs factory in Stretford. It is similar in size and shape to the Mersey "flats" that used the Sankey Canal. Found as a wreck in Stanley Dock, it was saved and restored by the Sankey Canal Restoration Society (SCARS) in 1989.
The other vessel is the tug boat Bonchurch, designated TID 174 (Tug, Inshore & Dock). She was built of welded steel in Germany at the close of World War II, and launched at Hessle in October 1945.

The canal appears to end but it is just an illusion
The canal is so overgrown beyond the bridge as to be invisible. Pity anyone who thinks they can push a way through the "long grass".
