Anderton, Chester, and North Wales

Another symbol of the industrial revolution, recently restored to working order.

The boat lift is an elevator for boats, to allow travel between the River Weaver and the Trent and Mersey Canal–waterways which were at different levels.

Boats come into the top.

And come out the bottom, or the other way around.

The modern control room for the boat lift. Industrial age meets information age.

The waterways are still in use today, but mostly for recreation.

The old Roman town of Chester.

Famous for its tudor buildings.

And unique for its two levels of street shops.

The city is surrounded by a Roman wall.

Beautiful North Wales countryside. No water shortage here.

No wind shortage here either.
