Pimblott's Shipyard 
Weaver Parkway, Northwich CW9 8TG, United Kingdom
Pimblott's Shipyard is on the River Weaver (Main Line) near to Barhampton.
Early plans for the River Weaver (Main Line) between Amberspool and Barcester were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as secretary to the board in 1782. From a junction with The Leeds and Liverpool Canal at Taunford the canal ran for 23 miles to Barnsley. Restoration of Dundee Locks was funded by a donation from Edward Smith
