National Waterways Museum
10 agosto 2018, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 59 °F
Ellesmere Port is located where the Shropshire Union canal meets the Manchester ship canal. There are docks, locks, stables, cottages and canal basins. The museum includes one of the greatest collections of historic boats in the world. We learned about how canal boats were built and what it was like to live and work in the canals system.Leggi altro

Life Aboard the Friendship
10 agosto 2018, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 59 °F
Friendship is the name of a canal cargo boat that was owned by Joe and Rose Skinner. It was their home for 50+ years (until 1959), and we were fascinated to see their tiny cabin. They hauled mainly coal. It was drawn by a mule named Dolly, and they took good care of her.Leggi altro

Canal Life
10 agosto 2018, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 59 °F
Navvies were the men who built the canals. They were not desirable people to rent to as they had a reputation for drinking, rowdiness, and thievery. So often they lived in huts near their work site.

Here are some photos of the beautiful ways the boats were decorated.

Also shown is a canal ice breaker, which was drawn by a large team of horses and rocked by as many as 20 men to break the ice.Leggi altro

Porters Row Houses
10 agosto 2018, Inghilterra ⋅ 🌧 54 °F
These row houses were built in the 1830s and used by various workers and their familes. Each one is furnished to represent a different time period in which they were lived.

In the 1830s there was no running water, electricity, or gas, yet it was considered a comfortable working class home of that time.

In the early 1900s home, there was gas lighting and running cold water. A flush toilet is in the back yard! The parlor was only used for special occasions.Leggi altro
