A colourful platelayers' hut on the Manchester Ship Canal railways at Manisty, Ellesmere Port. I am unsure about the need for the fire buckets at his location.

Looking rather small on the vast expanses of the Manchester Ship Canal, a narrowboat tanker is swinging in to enter the bottom basin of the Shropshire Union Canal at Ellesmere Port. This particular boat once regularly made this entrance after loading gas oil at the Stanlow oil refinery a short distance up the Ship Canal.
