3 - Bridge 29, The Anchor Inn |
||||||||||||||||||||||
| The Anchor Inn, as its name suggests, was built to serve the Canal. In the days of the Quarrymen, the boat men whose canal boats transported the stone would have stopped here to eat and drink. The boats they used were specially built to be able to carry heavy loads of stone. The Anchor still serves the canal. The customers today are mainly holiday makers on boats or walkers on the towpath. The holiday makers spend a few days or weeks living on boats. The boatmen who worked the canal and their families lived their whole lives on their boats transporting Hartshill stone all over the country. What about now?
