Former work boat alongside the Grand Union Canal

Alongside the Hatton flight of locks between locks Nos. 44 and 45. No. 44 is seen in the background. This originally carried a piling rig operated by a diesel engine and was used for bank maintenance by British Waterway Board. The wooden planks alongside represent the type of piled bank it was used to construct and maintain.

Shrewley Tunnel

At 433 yards, Shrewley Tunnel is by no means the longest on the Grand Union Canal but it is the last one for boats heading towards Birmingham. This is the north-west portal, looking towards Hatton with a boat visible inside.

St John's Bridge, Grand Union Canal

Everything looks peaceful in this scene at bridge 55 but about half a mile ahead is the top of Hatton's 21 Locks which take the canal down to Warwick.
