About Us

My photo
In 1977 we hired our first narrowboat from Anglo Welsh at Market Harborough.From that moment our destiny was set. In 2006 we finally purchased our own brand new 57' narrowboat which we named 'Free Spirit'. Our aim is to travel the length and breadth of all the navigable rivers and canals of the UK. This will be our story as it unfolds.

Lime Kilns


Four of the lime kilns were at Consall Forge, and two more a little further north. Both sets were built into a steep bank to allow coal and limestone to be loaded from above.Firing took place at the base, and when the burn was completed, quick lime was dug out from the bottom of the kiln.
