Old building alongside a house on Wharf Road, Gnosall Heath A vehicle garage I assume, though possibly not for the house it is built alongside of any more. It looks a little dangerous now. Obviously long disused.

Interior of the bar in The Boat Inn, Gnosall heath The bar scene here can more eloquently speak about the quality of this pub than I can. Impeccable pub. I had a classic liver, bacon and mash with onion gravy and a half of ale for around £11 squids. There were a smattering of wise looking greybeards dotted about looking contented - always a great indicator of any pubs quality. The bar maid was possibly the prettiest I have ever seen and the hostess / landlady / cook was obviously someone who has cornered and mastered their craft so well that it cannot be improved upon. Recommended. The decor was ace - just to my taste (for a pub!). The brass plaque on the wall commemorated a past publican / landlord. A nice touch. I will return.

Narrowboat moored below house on Mill Lane The boat, (no name detected), is moored at a private jetty which appears to run along the length of the Shropshire Union Canal below the gardens of the houses on Mill Lane in Gnosall Heath. The houses appear to be relatively new and were doubtless marketed as having the canal-side facility.
