Wikipedia has a page about Boat & Horses PH
A boat is a watercraft of a large range of types and sizes, but generally smaller than a ship, which is distinguished by its larger size, shape, cargo or passenger capacity, or its ability to carry boats.
Small boats are typically found on inland waterways such as rivers and lakes, or in protected coastal areas. However, some boats, such as the whaleboat, were intended for use in an offshore environment. In modern naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard a ship. Anomalous definitions exist, as lake freighters 1,000 feet (300 m) long on the Great Lakes are called "boats".
Boats vary in proportion and construction methods with their intended purpose, available materials, or local traditions. Canoes have been used since prehistoric times and remain in use throughout the world for transportation, fishing, and sport. Fishing boats vary widely in style partly to match local conditions. Pleasure craft used in recreational boating include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats. House boats may be used for vacationing or long-term residence. Lighters are used to convey cargo to and from large ships unable to get close to shore. Lifeboats have rescue and safety functions.
Boats can be propelled by manpower (e.g. rowboats and paddle boats), wind (e.g. sailboats), and motor (including gasoline, diesel, and electric).


![Boat & Horses (4) - tower, Broadway, Chadderton near Oldham. The unusual tower at the back of this 1990's built public house.[[3113880]].[[3113896]].[[3113912]]. by L S Wilson – 02 September 2012](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/11/39/3113958_ad0cce3e_120x120.jpg)


![Boat & Horses (1), Broadway, Chadderton near Oldham. There has been a pub here since the early years of the 19th century, when it was popular with the boatmen working on the adjacent Rochdale Canal. It had some changes of name before settling on the present one. At one time it was used as a morgue because of the number of drownings in the canal. Eventually, due to problems with the foundations, the original pub was demolished. The present pub is completely new and dates from the 1990's. It benefits from being next door to a Travelodge hotel. The pub is a J W Lees house. They are an independent family owned brewery based at Middleton in the north of Manchester, and were established in 1828.[[3113896]].[[3113912]].[[3113958]]. by P L Chadwick – 03 September 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/11/38/3113880_35c183cc_120x120.jpg)

![Boat & Horses (3), Broadway, Chadderton near Oldham. This side view of the pub shows its unusual tower, but this is not a home brew pub. It belongs to Manchester brewers J W Lees, one of whose delivery trucks can also be seen.[[3113880]].[[3113896]].[[3113958]]. by P L Chadwick – 03 September 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/11/39/3113912_4be2877f_120x120.jpg)


![Boat & Horses (2) - sign, Broadway, Chadderton near Oldham. The sign shows a canal narrowboat pulled by two horses. This would have been a familiar sight on the adjacent Rochdale Canal during much of the 19th century and later. The sign is attached to a post at the side of the car park.[[3113880]].[[3113912]].[[3113958]]. by P L Chadwick – 03 September 2012](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/11/38/3113896_8c6510ff_120x120.jpg)
