147 Sunday 6th November 2022 Portland Basin
This was a lousy day for weather so we chose to visit the museum at Portland Basin. We took the train to Manchester and then one to Ashton which was actually a replacement bus. It was a bit of a walk from the train station to Portland Basin. The museum is in an old canal warehouse by the basin, an important canal junction where the Ashton, Huddersfield Narrow and Peak Forest Canals meet up.
We went for something to eat first in the cafe there.
Some of the figurines were quite lifelike.
Simon liked this old record player.
I enjoyed the old school room.
In the industrial section , we enjoyed the section on hatting.
Simon took a break
