Is the [Shroppie Fly] crane still there? It was barriered off in 2018 when we passed through.

Yes we passed on 1Sep2020, and it has been repaired and replaced. It's an old railway crane that was installed on the raised bit which was once a shed.

A peniche loads at Coulanges, 29 locks up the hill from Auxerre on the Canal du Nivernais. The picture was taken forty-odd years ago and, even then the route was silted enough for the last few tonnes to be takan by lorry, then loaded aboard in Auxerre. The silo remains here and there used to be, in the shallows below this point, the vestiges of a barge repair yard, but no passer-by would ever know. 

 

Note the towering TV aerial, the first thing to be attended to whenever the vessel was moored.
