I never buy them just look at them. Came across this one and it occurred to me some members might know where it is as it seems to be a northern barge. Peter bargemast might know.

Looks like a wooden boat to me.

Any ideas? There is quite a distinctive structure top right of picture.

So on the Trent and misery? No because it's a wide beam.

the lower end of the T&M is widebeam but that stretch looks too wide for the canal above Shardlow

Were there any pottery areas below on the Trent below there ?

the biggest disadvantage of age .... is that you can't outgrow it

Ferrybridge Flood Lock, . . . and definitely a wooden dumb of some sort, probably 'Sheffield' size.

but go on in fortune or misfortune at their own private pace,
like a clock during a thunderstorm.

I hope that I never become famous and someone trawls my contributions on this site looking for the odd post which may be offensive.

Force them to pluralise words by putting apostrophes in, then everyone will mock them as imbeciles!

I would also go with Ferrybridge, with Yorkshire Bottle Works on the left and Ferrybridge Pottery in the distance. It could be a Sheffield sized keel, but C&HN sized ones also worked here. Horse-drawn, as you can just about make out the tow line from the mast. On the L&LC, the mast was called the ludget, but I am not sure if this term was used on larger Yorkshire boats.
