Narrowboat with solar panels

This unusually equipped narrowboat was moored north of Town Field Bridge (No 66) near Buglawton, Congleton. Don't forget to lower the masts before negotiating bridges! The vessel appears to be an old (1970s?) ex-hire boat.

Antrobus Street car park, Congleton

A relatively cheap pay-and-display facility, handy for the town centre shops.

The Counting House pub, Congleton

The pub, formerly the National Westminster Bank (hence the name), is grade II listed (list entry 1106298) but is not as old as the half-timbering may suggest, being of 19th century date. It is currently part of the J D Wetherspoon chain.

Art Deco building, Duke Street, Congleton

Currently disused.

Floral display, Duke Street, Congleton

At the western end of the pedestrianised street, a sort of ziggurat of different sized planters. "Hanging gardens of Congleton" would be going too far.
