cary hill Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 A few photos of the canals in Braunston, Northants - the busy heart of the Waterways. A narrowboat emerging from the western portal of BraunstonTunnel. Opened in 1796 and 2,049 yds (1,874 mtrs) long. A rare quiet moment - Lock 5 looking towards Lock 4. The Bottom Lock with a pair of narrowboats beginning the ascent to Braunston Tunnel. Braunston dry dock is the large building on the left and the well known "Boat Shop" forms part of the cluster of buildings on the right. Braunston Marina. Plenty of narrowboats for the weekend and there are at least as many again behind me in the other part of the Marina. (Taken from the Oxford Canal) the magnificent pair of cast iron bridges, manufactured by the Horsley Ironworks of Tipton and dating from 1830, which span the unique triangular junction of the Oxford Canal and the Grand Union Canal. There is a third bridge to the same design at the entrance to Braunston Marina. All three were erected when the Oxford Canal was straightened/shortened. Apparently Marc Brunel (father of IK) was involved in the Oxford Canal improvements. Braunston Church and Manor House overlooking the Canals from the ridge on which Braunston village sits. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bike2steam Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) This mornings dog walk, looking north from Durlston Country Park, Swanage, across Poole Bay, Ballard Down to the left, and the 'Island' in the distance to the right - not bad for a 'phone pic. Meanwhile looking south, the Swanage lifeboat at full speed on a training run, and a massive container ship near the horizon, makes it's way from Southampton. Durlston ( Anvil Point ) lighthouse, like all lighthouses, is automatic, the old lighthouse keeper cottages are now holiday lets.

coachmann Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 (edited) I was awakened in the garden chair after a good lunch by a passing mass of white cloud and was thinking it is only 4 weeks off the longest day then it's all downhill again!....

RMweb Gold martin_wynne Posted May 20, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 20, 2015 Here is the same view in spring, a few days ago: arley_may_2015_email.jpg The previous views were taken from Arley footbridge over the Severn, built in 1972. Such a view wasn't possible 3 years earlier when I took this picture in 1969. I remember crossing with my bike. The ferry was attached to a rope across the river, and moved sideways using the rudder against the current. The ferry closed when the footbridge opened.

I was out cycling a couple of weeks ago, and took this photo' of the lovely church at Brantingham, East Yorks. There is quite a crack in part of the tower, and I hope that everything is O.K. with the tower. Best regards, Market65. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
