- Rather than let the Macclesfield Canal join directly, the Trent and Mersey canal company built a short 1.5 mile branch. To stop water being lost to either canal two stop locks were built back to back, so that the higher level one would be used to pass boats. Now only the Macc one survives leaving just the recesses for the gates in the other lock. This is because the levels in either canal could be higher than the other because the summit level of the Trent and Mersey canal was used to store water when it could. We also see the two aqueducts (one road and one the main line canal) and junction with the Trent and Mersey canal at Hardings Deep Junction, and the Northern portals of the old (right hand side) and new Harecastle tunnels.
Looks like it is a supply boat for gas and coal to other canal boaters. Thats how life is, slow and relaxed with the skill and anticipation of the boatmaster. You don't need bow thrusters or multipule crew, just anticipation and years on the water.
Lovely to see and hear.
Thankls.
This is like something out of a fairy tale! Absolutely beautiful! Thumbs up from the US.
Ahhh, Victoria. Love her purr. Thanks Mike 👍 Just catching up on the "oldies but goodies" as time allows. Cheers from NZ ✨
This was very neat to watch. Thank you for posting.
Quite picturesque, the way the canal loops back on itself. I've seen it on roads but never guessed canals had it too. Thanks for sharing.
Just beautifull.Peace and serenity.
went through there last week very nice cottage and dog too ....Macc canal is excellent !!
Chocolate box scenes, lovely to watch.
Lo felicito a usted, al pueblo inglés y a sus autoridades por mantener éste sistema de comunicación y transporte, es un ejemplo de ingeniería y tecnología aplicada todo, dentro de un hermoso paisaje...saludos desde Argentina. ...
Lovely boat Mike 😊 Well kept and well captured 👍 Really enjoyed watching.
Lovely presentatiion. Pleased to ssee the train. I love them
Lovely sounding old engine ! x
Thanks, cannot sleep, so these videos fantastic.
We have cruised the UK canals 5 times. The last time was 10 years ago, so it is absolutely time to take another trip. Our own cruising wates is the Stockhlom archipelago.
Lucky enough to pass this way twice, once doing 4 counties ring and another when we did a route through Manchester including the Rochdale, Ashton, and beautiful Peak Forest, lower and especially the upper. It's otherworldly to be chugging along the side of the hill looking DOWN into the valley en route to Whaley Bridge, and the Marple locks are some of the most beautiful in Britain, nice and deep and narrow and mossy. The Macclesfield is so sweet with beautiful Bosley locks, straight mile, and then the exciting junction you showed here.
Burnya Bro yes its very nice. i live on the macc near congleton. The countryside is fantastic and bosley flight is a dream.
Loved this - thank you for posting
I walk along there often, when I was a kid 40+ years ago I used to hang around the lock at hall Green and help to open and shut the locks.
My gran used to live up on the road ( to which the foot bridge connects). Spent my happy days as a nipper opening the locks for the boaters to come through with my friend who used to live in the cream cottage on the right of the picture. Happy days

The roads called Little Moss.
fabulous, loved it
What a nice trip! Lovely!
Love the sound of that engine.
Great video ! 👍🏻
Bucolic serenity enjoyed at walking speed. The Brits seem to have many old fashion pass times. Quiet, gentlemanly.
Well, this vid was a nice find. I like the notion of this being a working boat.
Amazing vid
Thousands thanks.
Pretty neat bridge over canal there at beginning. Y'all have some really interesting ironwork structures over there; isn't much of that out here in midwestern farmland flyover country.
I do not know if there is a garden of Eden .but if there is it must look like that.Thanks for posting.
Beautiful!!
I can’t think of a better way to see a country
Very nice. More please!
Love this and the colors of your boat, I still don't understand the locks and lived in Banbury big canal town.
amazing boat trip
All this and a cuppa tea.....my idea of heaven.
My great great grandfather had three small schooners that traveled around Florida and the Bahamas delivering trade goods to the small villages.
Each had a huge fish well bc refrigeration was not invented in the 1850’s. As the towns (Miami) grew, the started hardware stores.
A like from Nova Scotia.
thanks for posting,
Lovely, life in the slow lane.
Wonderful place
Nice to watch
Just fantastic
Very nice places
You have the best life!
So Nice!!
Lovely sound and the countryside is mighty fine to. Was expecting to see you go into Harecastle 🙁 shame! Is your camera hand held or a go pro body mounted sort? If your filming and steering hats off to the skill you have with the boat and camera .
I love the sound of the diesel engine. My Grandfather owned an old tractor which made about the same noise (if it ran).
one lunger single cylinder
John Deere built a single cylinder tractor
A swimming tractor ???
Good sound.
СПАСИБО!!! Как будто сам прошол по каналу !
Espectacular
Sounds like my old velocete love it
At the "T" intersection do you have to be ready to put the propeller in reverse?
nice to see victoria again have passed it often
How many times a week do you hold man overboard drills?
Good exercise
Люди построили хороший канал для маломерных судов! Лайк из России!
Ага, и "подкалиберные" шлюзы, с ручным приводом, за счёт капитана)) Прям водный парк развлечений, а не работа!
Like from Brasil
Que lugar maravilhoso, adorei! Eles usam essas embarcações pra transportes de mercadorias?
Как всё красива! Молодцы!
Love it
Peaceful
nice, you'd havta be fit to close an open these gates all the time, but it'd be run
can you tel me something about the doors
Не плохо было бы показать жизнь на лодке , ночёвку , пробуждение , завтрак , запуск двигателя .
Relaxing, I could listen to that engine all day, sounds like my old Massey Ferguson, where is this place
It's not far from Stoke On Trent!
fabulous.
you don't have any type of control in front?
it's only rear rudder...
Yep, with smaller boats like this a bow thruster is unnecessary, worse case scenario would involve walking up to the front and using a pole to push it...
Gostaria de saber o país e cidade que aparecem neste vídeo.
I like
Self-service canal locks? That is a surprise.
OK good luck jayhoo jayhoo har har mahadeV MahadeV Bhole

Super 👍👍 bravo 👏⛵⛵😁👏 c'est dans quel pays ⛵👍
Very nice. So tell me. Why do most locks have double gates at one end and a single gate at the other? It would seem simpler to have a single gate at both ends. Then everything could be operated from one side of the lock.
The Macclesfield and Ashton canals are about the only canals to have double top gates - I understand it was a fancy of the engineer rather than any other reason however many were replaced with single top gates later due to excessive leakage. Most narrow canals have double bottom gates as a single gate would be heavy and difficult to install and also would require a longer lock chamber. However it wasn't long before canal companies realised it was cheaper to install single gates both top and bottom and much of the Birmingham canals are like this as well as the Oxford canal south of Banbury. These locks however are much harder to operate with a full length boat as it needs to be pulled back to open the bottom gate. Think that covers it all.
Makes sense - thanks
really narrow canal. you drive well. think I prefer boating on a nice wide, green lake.
I love engine sound. What type is it?
Lister JP2 - I have loads of videos, including a nice one of me starting it.
We should swap ships for a couple of weeks mate. :p Mine is much bigger, but the canals i navigate are also bigger.
I would consider it a challenge driving a Narrowboat through those canals. But i'm pretty sure i would make it without damage. ;-)
Yeah I'm up for that! :)
Wow that gets narrow in places 😂
Que lugar bonito onde fica.
Hall Green, Inglaterra
I wish the Ohio Erie Canal and it’s associated rivers was used like this. Only canoes and an old horse drawn canal boat for the tourists.
I assume you're talking about the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal - I've done a fair bit of virtual tourism on it, it's a shame the link to the sea wasnt reinstated again though there are so many locks it would be expensive to restore. The 'new' Erie canal is obviously still in use, but it's a shame more of the original canal wasnt saved.
be nice to see a barge come cafe not seen one yet
Gostaria de fazer um passeio nestes canais.
Fantastic.
woda jak w szambie
Does your horn not work?
Love the sound of the engine...just guessing that is not a Kubota.......Sound is intoxicating like an old Detroit diesel two stroke... Bet i can not rent one that sounds like that.
Danielle Dykgraaf it's a Lister JP2, and I believe Middlewich Narrowboats have one with a trad engine you can hire.
how do you steer this barge, do you have bow thrusters or what???
Skill.... patience, anticipation, practice and a smile - it's a pleasure to watch isn't it! No thruster on Victoria, only a large, slow prop and a plate rudder. Believe me, it's nowhere near as easy as it looks...
Dumb question , but what are all the gas bottles for ?
He's a working boat, selling fuel - coal, coke, gas etc., - to other boaters. It would be a real pain having to move your boat/home every time you needed gas or coal.
My question would be, did he go through the tunnel? Because I think the winding hole there is a 'bit snug'. The Harecastle tunnel is an awesome challenge to your boat driving skills. I've done it once, it took about 40 minutes and I'm certain I didn't blink a single blink. Concentration is that hard.
I dont understand how one can see where they are going when the steering thingy is all the way in the rear of the boat like that! love the look and the sound of this thing, very interesting, but yeah seems like it would be scary to try to navigate those extremely narrow canals!!!
Just like a container ship you can’t see directly in front, but for getting into locks you can look down the side or line up with the bottom gates where there are two or them. You also see a bit more than on this video normally because of the way I’m holding the camera.
Теплый ламповый английский дизель :). : Трум-трум-трум-трум-трум...
Подскажите: что то за судно и для чего используют? Заранее спасибо.
простой речной сухогруз для каналов Темзы. В основном - доставляет топливо, запчасти другим лодкам (narrowboat) в то место, куда нельзя подъехать автомобилем.
Спасибо.
En donde será esto?

un poco de pintura no vendria mal
Any chance of a peep inside the engine room?
peter trayte check out my many other videos just on the engine itself
Great video's, but I wasn't able to find any engine room video's, I saw a few tug of wars, and some other cool stuff, but no engine rooms, do know the titles?
What do you carry
Earl Wright it's a fuel boat. They sell bottled gas, solid fuel and often diesel to leisure boaters along the canal.
Do you transport propane and propane accessories?
Just the bottles to swap out with empties. Nearly everyone on the canal system just use Calor propane 13kg (with odd ones using 7kg and 3.9kg due to size issues - occassionally odd ones on butane bottles too), so it keeps it easy.
mykaskin that’s super cool!
Lol hank hill.
😁👍👏👏👏
Is your vessel what is known as a narrowboat?
Hi, that's correct. Victoria is an historic (working) narrowboat, built to carry cargo. Other boats seen in the video are narrowboats built for pleasure (built with a cabin the full length of the boat).
I must say, I watched a couple of these videos and it seems to me that the folks in and around the Canals and the ones that are in the area or riding there bikes, no one seems friendly, I never see any one wave or say hello or anything, maybe I'm missing something but I wouldn't want to be around these types of people, what seems to be there problem, a wave never hurt anyone before
Boaters will wave hello, sometimes if someone is just chilling on the towpath watching the boats they will get a wave. If someone is just travelling on the towpath it will depend, if someone looks at the boat they'll get a wave from me anyway even if they are not expecting it. Get some confused people especially in towns and cities if you wave! :)
What it is to show you
Шир?)
i have always wondered, why do they have theses locks or gates, when it does not raise or lower the water level? just seems like small gates to open and close for no reason.
Hi, there is a slight difference in height and it was this that kept the waters separated so that the newer canal didn't steal water from an older one. Obviously they are now nearly all owned by the same owner and where possible the lock has been removed, but it's not possible to raise the lower pound due to a low tunnel and the canal above isnt deep enough to lower it. It's just a nice piece of history. Actually this stop lock worked in both directions depending on which canal was highest and had two lock keepers, one from each canal company!
It stops the land flooding if there is too much water in one area
@@pinkyman5155 you're thinking of flood locks usually on rivers. These locks (originally there were two, one in each direction) were to keep each canal's water from each other!
mykaskin My narrowboat is on the River lea, can’t say I have ever seen one on that part of the river, just normal locks
@@pinkyman5155 I cant think of any flood locks or gates on the Lea or Stort or anywhere else in the area to be honest, but there are elsewhere on the northern rivers and canals.
I wonder why this boat needs a steering device?
How would this have worked when the other lock directly adjacent to it was in operations, and I'm talking about describing the cycle of rises-and-falls you'd have had to go through?
It would depend on which canal was higher. The lock that had the drop would be the one used. The summit of the T+M was used a little like a reservoir so would sometimes be higher than the Macclesfield.
@@mykaskin where was the summit of each? And are you saying the gates of one or the other would would generally be left open after locking from the other?
The T+M summit on the other side of the existing lock, the Macclesfield summit is up Bosley locks, so this pound is kept at weir level.
@@mykaskin what weir level? I don't understand what this means.
The designed water height kept at by having weirs at strategic locations.

Its Dubai.
It is not the country, it is a Civilization...
