Narrowboat on the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal

Narrowboat "Keep Smilin" is moored south-west of Deptmore Lock near Wildwood, Stafford.

Get your fudge here! The very smart boat was moored in a very rural place north of Acton Trussell in Staffordshire. A permit is required to trade from a narrowboat on the canals. I expect they do get occasional ales from passing craft. I have read that their best seller is the rhubarb and custard flavour.

Traders of all kinds of wares can be found at boat festivals and other popular canal venues.
