Trent and Mersey Kings Bromley Wharf

Moored near Kings Bromley Wharf, now more like a Marina and very pleasant too, hidden in woodlands.
The morning is bright, sunny and reasonably pleasant, temperature-wise.
Today we will be passing the huge Armitage Shanks sanitaryware factory ( toilets to you and me ) near Handsacre and through what was once the Armitage tunnel, now a narrow cutting through solid rock since the collapse of the roof due to mining subsidence many years ago. It always reminds me of queuing for one of the futuristic rides in Alton Towers.
