For all fellow pedantics, these particular boats are not in fact barges but are actually narrowboats, which are no more than 6 ft 10 ins wide and purposely designed to pass through the narrowest (7 ft) locks in Britain. Barges are cargo carrying boats of greater width, typically 14 ft, which restricts them to sections of the canal system having double width locks and tunnels.Quote:
