Visiting the Anderton Boat Lift on My Narrowboat (2017) [video]

If you find this interesting, I'd really recommend learning about Falkirk Wheel - it's an absolute marvel of engineering and the only rotating boat lift in the world. I've visited a month ago and it was fascinating.

For those not familiar, narrowboats in England need to be VERY narrow.

There's some really fascinating videos on youtube from people who live in them full time, with walkthrough tours of living room space + kitchen + bedroom.

Also possibly of interest to people is the Marine Railway on the Trent-Severn Waterway. Boats sit in slings or directly on the car floor and transported across the 18m elevation change.

The motorways of the industrial revolution! And lovely to cycle down these days.

I don't want to turn into this man.

That was so thoroughly and charmingly English, but what an amazing feat of engineering for the time it was built!
