Tranquility at the water's edge

This Monday we return to our canal side exploration.

Moored up while their owners are either resting or making their way on foot to the local stores to stock up on provisions before continuing on this is a lovely grouping of barges aka "Narrow Boats" along this stretch of the canal.

Old and new transportation intermingle here from delivery vans parked on a Public House car park to the barges of yesteryear both along the site of much industry until the mid 1930's today most peaceful.

The canal towpath can be seen on the far left.
