Can anyone help me remember a book from my childhood (12 years ago approx).?

Question

It was about 2 kids who where running away to America.

The UK has reverted to a technological-less state, anyone who used technology was considered almost a witch.

The 2 children worked in an inn or a farm I think..

I remember a scene at a docks that had rotted and the children where trying to steal a boat to get away.

Sorry its not more explicit.
