Sculpture (day 14)

Early start today. Heading toward Bunbury with a stop at Calveley, on the way, for water. Turned at the winding hole just before Bunbury lock then moored for breakfast at Calveley. Very relaxing start to the day
The view below is at Barbridge junction and the building you see is I believe the only remaining part of what was at one time a large transshipping area that straddled the canal. I'm going to do a bit more research on this if I can



A nice paint job methinks

The entrance to the Llangollen canal at Hurleston junction. I took the picture with my phone and just guessed how it fitted into the frame because the sun was shining and I couldn't see the screen

Never let it be said that we ignored the arts. This sculpture of a dog was carved from a tree and is one of several along the canal embankment at Nantwich. Wonder if Its bark was worse than its bite!



Nantwich appears proud of its Riverside community area, and why not. Those responsible have done a very good job


Nantwich is the kind of place that has kept it's heritage and managed to fit the old and new together in a way that gives its population and visitors all that they may need in a pleasant environment

This is a perfect place for boaters to stop for it has good and plentiful moorings and the town centre is just a short walk from the moorings

Nantwich Civic Hall
Classy building

Later in the afternoon we set off for the leisure area at Coole Pilate
