Gorgeous hand painted horseshoe

16th October 2025

So happy with the personalised handpainted horseshoe we received, which we have put on the door of our ‘new to us’ narrowboat Bluebell. Fast delivery too and well packed. Highly recommend.

Venetian Marina Moorer

22nd August 2025

A convenient, well priced shop. We use it often and have found Ruth and Richard to be extremely helpful and knowledgable.

If you are looking for some unique items, check out Ruth’s work, a must have for all boats and would also make lovely gifts.

Such a friendly and interesting place to visit

22nd August 2025

Fantastically friendly place to visit. Ruth and Richard will always stop for a chat. The chandeliers is an Aladdin’s cave of interesting things including beautifully hand painted narrowboat art and crafts produced by Ruth, and they sell ice cream, so what more could you ask for. Definitely worth visiting them at Venetian Marina, Nantwich.

A lot of people know the owners from the fuel boat which has kept people warm and toped up with coal diesel and gas etc for many years….

so you will be able to not only buy everything you need from the shop you also have years of experience in boating….. so i’m sure they wouldn’t mind any questions you have…..

I bought Calor and coal several times from Chamberlain Carrying Company while moored along the Shropshire Union canal. I was recently widowed, deep in grief, and struggling emotionally. Ruth’s lovely smile and Richard’s quiet, helpful manner brought bright spot to bleak days, and good quality coal too!
