This is the account of our frightening experience as the events unfolded in real time of the 2025 New years day Bridgewater canal breach at Little Bollington, this breach took place after 16 hours of non-stop heavy rain, that filled the canal up so much that it was going above the towpath and flooding over this put so much pressure on a 260-year-old canal embankment that it completely collapsed into the worst breach since 1971, when the canal breached here, in the exact same spot!

Hello and welcome to Taylors Aboard. Im Josh and I live on a 70ft Narrowboat with my Parents, Diane and Andy. Together we travel the beautiful waterways of the UK, with the ultimate aim of seeing them all. from crossing the hugely impressive 85m tall Pontcysyllte aqueduct, Battling the great river Thames on red boards to travelling through the centre of ancient cities like Chester. So subscribe to our channel for a very unique experience that you won't find anywhere else.
