![Norton Warehouse with working narrowboats, from across Norton basin. Looking across Norton Basin onto the SE end of Norton Warehouse - now the only one surviving of the 4 shown on [[5654607]]. This was the moorings of the Anderton Canal Carrying Company's fleet & 4 of its boats can be seen. Nearest, & moored in the basin, is 'Effingham', built in Northwich in 1959 by Pimblotts, see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/effingham The furthest of the 3 moored together is 'Mountbatten' built in Northwich in 1960 by Yarwoods, see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/mountbatten the boat alongside it is probably the butty 'Keppel' - they worked together for the last few trading years. By this time the ACCCo's canal carrying activities had more or less come to an end although I believe boating families may still have been living aboard some of their boats. The Company continued in business as road hauliers. by Martin Tester – March 1972](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/65/52/5655244_7630e54e_120x120.jpg)

![Norton Warehouses, Bridgewater Canal, from Cawley's Bridge. View from Cawley's Bridge [[2427822]] looking SE along the Bridgewater Canal towards its junction with the Trent & Mersey Canal. In the distance is the newly-opened M56 motorway. Since the time of the photo this area has seen massive redevelopment as more recent photos will show. On the left a marina has been excavated & on the right Preston Brook Marina Village has been built. Of the 4 decrepit-looking warehouses only the 3rd along survives; between it & the 4th warehouse lies Norton Basin. Beyond the 4th warehouse the steel sheeting indicates engineering work & a temporary narrowing of the canal which allowed me to take a photo from the opposite direction, see: [[5654612]] by Martin Tester – March 1972](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/65/46/5654607_f4f54ad6_120x120.jpg)


![Norton Warehouses & narrow boats, Bridgewater Canal, from SE. View looking NW along the Bridgewater Canal showing Norton warehouses of which only the 2nd along survives, in front are moored working narrow boats of the Anderton Canal Carrying Company's fleet. At this time its canal carrying activities had more or less come to an end. The outermost of the 3 narrow boats is the 'Mountbatten' see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/mountbatten & astern of it lies the butty 'Argo', see http://hnbc.org.uk/boats/argo Between the 1st & 2nd warehouses is Norton basin. In the immediate foreground the blurry outline of steel sheeting indicates engineering work & a temporary narrowing of the canal which allowed me to take this photo apparently from the middle of the canal. For a 2011 view from a similar point see [[2427817]]. In the distance is Cawley's Bridge, for my photo from there see: [[5654607]] by Martin Tester – March 1972](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/05/65/46/5654612_7e7cf3d7_120x120.jpg)
