On our way back, as we approached Aston Bottom Lock, a pleasant surprise
was to meet our eyes. Leaving the lock was the restored -
Fellows, Morton & Clayton Ltd working boat
PLOVER (No 94)
Proceeding to the top of the lock, another surprise was in store.
Another restored working boat was waiting to enter the lock,
this time it was the -
W H COWBURN & COWPAR Ltd. Manchester working boat
SWAN
To be followed shortly after by the -
METROPOLITAN & MIDLAND working boat
