Taylor's Boatyard

Taylor's Boatyard, down on the Canal Basin, once built and maintained the Shropshire Union Company's carrying fleet. Trees arrived by boat at one end and boats were launched sideways from the slipways at the other end. To the rear of the yard you can see buildings that housed the sawmill, paintshop, blacksmiths's and carpenter's workshops. Narrowboats and other craft are still repaired here, and the ownership of the dry dock has recently passed back to the boatyard. A descendant of the eponymous Taylor still lives locally, and is happy to give talks about the history. You can find out more here: http://www.taylorsboatyard.co.uk/
