Title Photograph of a Packet Boat at The Winding Hole
Description This picture above shows just how incredibly busy these so-called packet-boats were before the railways took over. This is despite Joel Wainwright pointing out in his 'Memories of Marple' that it was often much quicker to walk! This location was the head of navigation on the Lower Level and was used for boats to tie up whilst loading or discharging cargo.
