Kerridge dry dock. Macclesfield canal

Does anyone have an alternative number to 07723 330860. They provide a very good service I used 2 years ago but I’ve been trying to make contact for a week but had no response. I have heard that it may have changed hands recently

As far as I know that phone number is for Ged who was looking after the dock following the death of John Jackson.   John's son has no interest in the dock and I understand that the daughter was to take over the running. I have no other number but the phone in the house is presumably still connected, perhaps you can try that?

Sad to hear John died....When he 'tested' the hull on our old boat by hitting it with a b*****y big hammer, he said if it ever needed plating he'd do it for free. He was a character.

They managed to make a total pig's ear of my back deck and fitted a prop shaft seal that nearly sank the boat. I was mightily relieved when I heard they'd changed hands.

Thanks Tracy unfortunately that number is dead

Can you not raise Ged?  Its several years since I was in there.

I would ask Bollington Wharf, they are very close and may know the current scene.
