To access the lower basin a fee has to be paid in the museum entrance. If you become a friend of Canal and River Trust ( for £5 per month) this allows one nights fee mooring and a second for £4.00 along with this you get free access to the museum, lots of info and a 10% discount in the shop and cafe.
After descending 2 locks we are in the Lower Basin .....
and we are a museum exhibit for the duration!!!!
The museum has a collection of preserved inland waterways craft and tells the story of boatbuilding with exhibits, models and photos.
This exhibit was donated from a pumping station in Burscough.
Potters Row
Restored period cottages....
complete with outside privy.....
and garden.
Well worth a visit!!!
