Norton Warehouses & narrow boats, Bridgewater Canal, from SE
View looking NW along the Bridgewater Canal showing Norton warehouses of which only the 2nd along survives, in front are moored working narrow boats of the Anderton Canal Carrying Company's fleet. At this time its canal carrying activities had more or less come to an end. The outermost of the 3 narrow boats is the 'Mountbatten' see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/mountbatten & astern of it lies the butty 'Argo', see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/argo Between the 1st & 2nd warehouses is Norton basin. In the immediate foreground the blurry outline of steel sheeting indicates engineering work & a temporary narrowing of the canal which allowed me to take this photo apparently from the middle of the canal. For a 2011 view from a similar point see Image In the distance is Cawley's Bridge, for my photo from there see: Image
