Have you spotted the mooring above the other lock? 
where a Cafè boat used to be?

There’s also a water tap there. 
Unless it’s now gone. 

That's the spot we are talking about. It's gone now

Glad to hear it

He was a good friend while I stayed over that way. 
Really nice bloke. 
Him and his mates tend to sit and watch the boats while having a beer. Might feel a bit intimidating for some but they are good people.

We stocked up with enough to last us for quite a few days... 🙂

Here’s a pinhole photo I took inside the brewery . I put the camera up high and we left it there for about 5 hours

Are they sticking any mooring rings atop the new extended wash wall? I've always thought it a crying shame there was no mooring there with easy access to the bakery and brewery.

Walked along there this morning to get my bread.I counted four mooring rings and a bollard.These are not new, they have been there all the time, but were buried in undergrowth, and are now visible .

I seem to remember the problem with mooring there was not just shallow water but a high wall, well above gunwale level -- has this now changed?

 

Or was this all just because the level in the pound was low?

Right, here’s one for the Slaithwaite aficionados, which pub toilets are these 😂 

(I don’t make a habit of photographing pub toilets but thought this pretty good decor for a lav)

Only ever been in The Star and The Commercial, and the Star is long gone

The pub isn't closing, just the tiny brewery.  It's quite a haul up the hill from mooring at the lock near the Titanic Mill.  A beautiful little old-fashioned pub.  The parlour is very similar to our living room 70 years ago.

Oh I see, I misread it,

Then there’s a chance I might yet see it 👍

Lovely pub indeed, but last time we were there -- admittedly years ago -- it was somewhat smelly and the beer tasted like home-brew, if you know what I mean...

Cat City is long gone as far as i know

That's good -- the smell of cat p*ss might have partially explained why the beer tasted below par, given that smell and taste are inextricably linked...

 

(but I've had the Linfit beers elsewhere and didn't much like them them either, like David Bruce's "xxx and Firkin" beers when they were brewed in the pubs)
