future unknown

tucked away on a quiet part of the weaver navigation , just beyond the northwich railway viaduct , and close to the spot where it was built 70 years ago , is this little barge called safe hand

built in 1950 at yarwoods of northwich whose yard once occupied the opposite bank of the canalised section of the river , as a vegetable oils carrier and last used In Liverpool docks , it has been moored at several spots on the weaver navigation in the last year or so , but it's future is not known , will it be converted to a houseboat , or restored, or will it join the select group of rusting old boats languishing on this once busy waterway ?-- some time ago it was offered for sale on the internet at a price of £ 45000 --perhaps someone bought it ?
