The US owned Cabot Carbon plant at Ellesmere Port produced carbon black using the oil furnace process. This is used in the production of tyres, toners, printing inks, plastics and coatings. The works was busy when I took this shot but has now been closed and production transferred to a cheaper location in China. It was Britain's largest producer of Carbon black. By 2010 the demolition men were on site. Since 2019 the site has been occupied by a factory manufacturing containerboard and corrugated board.

A small convoy from Manchester to Ellesmere Port is passing the Stanlow oil refinery. Narrowboat Victoria leads the way with Short Boat Severn close behind and then some way behind comes tanker narrowboat Spey. An easy short day's boating compared with the long haul via Middlewich and Chester.
