A tame aqueduct in Tamworth

No, sorry, that should read "A Tame aqueduct". We crossed the Tame Aqueduct on the Coventry Canal on April 5th. Shortly afterwards we turned left onto the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal.


The junction is dominated by Fazeley Mill, which is, I believe, being converted into flats.


Opposite the mill is this old chapel.


Then we tied up alongside Kew to visit David and Mary. Mary had baked us some delicious flapjacks, which were still warm when they came aboard for a coffee. It was good at last to be able to invite them on board after so often having been guests on Kew.

Gorgeous old buildings, Halfie. I love following your travels, and hope we can do the same one of these days. Would you be able to recommend a hire company some where in the midlands or yorkshire/lancashire regions? I'd like to organise a surprise trip with my Koos, but out of season. He is very experienced on the water. I have some experience and have done a narrowboat handling course too..that was years ago though!
