Ashton Packet Boat Company
Ashton Packet Boat Company
The Ashton Packet Boat Company is a working boatyard situated on the Ashton Canal.
The site dates to around 1860, when it operated as a boat repair yard owned by the Ashton Moss Colliery, maintaining a fleet of vessels that transported coal along the canal to Ashton and Manchester.
After commercial canal traffic ceased, the yard fell into dereliction. Revived in 1975, the site reopened as the Ashton Packet Boat Company and has since become an active boatyard offering moorings and repair services for a variety of canal craft.
