Boathouse

The Macclesfield Canal once had many boathouses along its top level between Marple and Bosley. With the changes in the type of pleasure boat used on the canals from small wooden or fibreglass cruisers to steel hulled narrowboats these boathouses have mainly been abandoned and demolished. Whilst there are still several remaining on the High Lane Arm, this is the last survivor on the main line and is steadily falling into decay. Another bit of history rotting away. :-(
