Norton Cottages
Looking across Norton Basin onto the rear elevation of Norton Cottages. At the time of the photo these were the only houses near the basin. Since then the area has experienced massive redevelopment as more recent photos here will show.
In the immediate foreground is the stern of 'Symbol' - originally a Shropshire Union Railway's & Canal Company horsedrawn 'fly' boat & then one of the few remaining examples. Sadly this historic craft has not survived, a well-meaning restoration plan failed as is described here: http://www.canaljunction.com/mainline/0112.htm
