We often visit our granddaughter who lives with her Mum in Sale and stay for a few days in a cottage that was probably built in the 1770s and sits on the towpath of the Bridgewater Canal at Preston Brook. The building of the Bridgewater Canal kick-started the Industrial Revolution and the cottage was built at what was to become its junction with the Trent and Mersey Canal. There's a whole lot of history there which I'm beginning uncover in this article.

We're currently in #Cheshire in our #cottage fronting the #Bridgewater #Canal at #PrestonBrook.
Just decided I needed a photograph to prove it when nb Vulcan passed by. Given the number of solar panels I thought it might be a #liveaboard but a few moments research revealed this website:
https://www.vulcanowners.co.uk/
which says it used to belong to the Challenger fleet. I recall the days when they were rivals to OwnerShips. Both companies are now defunct.
