Stockton-on-Tees. River Tees.

 

Now you are in my neck of the woods!

 

Just further down river. The barage that maintains the water level at Stockton, and supplies the international canoe course.

This day in 2013, Yangzhou, China. The first photo is of restaurant/trip boats, the second is a flood lock between the various waterways in the city, the third is coal being delivered to a local power station, and finally, do we need these lads to clear weed on our canals?

The boat in the drydock in the 1972 picture is very distinctive. L1575_20091001_0023s.jpg.5fe601573c193cee76b154b3d1f7442a.jpg

 

L1575_20091001_0027s.jpg.b8c0c271f51ef6a31b3df0e751e7d684.jpgHere are the hotel boats Taurus and Snipe on the K&A in 2009 (being just-too long to go down the lock breasted).

It was Forget-me-not on dock at Dutton. Peter Froud had not converted Taurus at the time.
