Boaty Jo Posted August 31, 2021 Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 This is the summit pound of the Rochdale Canal looking east (towards lock 36). It's a part finished (just started) restaurant boat. Having lived around here on and off for 60+ years I don't remember it. Anyone know if it was ever finished and, if so, where it operated? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtB Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Lol I was thinking exactly that too!! Such a graceful conversion in the photo, would not be at all out of place on the southern GU. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athy Posted September 4, 2021 Report Share Posted September 4, 2021 Several "great minds" on here! My first thought was, is it Alan's starter boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pluto Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 There were several wide boats being converted on the Rochdale in Manchester around 1970, with the Hopewell, and possibly Ellen, as restaurant boats, and Lune as a 'boutique'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
