Oxford Canal, north of Braunston

This view shows the canal north of bridge 88 looking towards Rugby. It is completely iced-over on a sunny but bitterly cold day.

The Oxford Canal near Willoughby

Approaching bridge 84 travelling south, this is a section of the canal that was straightened in the modernisation of the 1820s. The abandoned curve is still visible to the west of the canal.

Medieval ridge and furrow field patterns near Willoughby

Viewed here from the Oxford Canal, these patterns are a result of ploughing with non-reversible ploughs on the same strip of land each year. The patterns were created in the Middle Ages on land which has not been ploughed since.

Oxford Canal: Bridge Number 84

This bridge appears to have been whitewashed at some stage in the past. All the bridges have number plaques. Most are centred over the arch and easy to see. This one is rusty and difficult to spot. In fact it is above the arch, about a quarter of the way across the opening from left to right, and just above halfway between the arch and the top of the parapet. The straight line of the canal cut through here is again a result of the 1820s elimination of the original 1770s curvy route. On this case a loop to the west has been isolated but is still well marked on the ground and in satellite imagery.

Oxford Canal: Bridge Number 87

This is a farmers' bridge in the Civil Parish of Willoughby. At some stage the original brickwork has been covered in an unattractive cement render.

Oxford Canal: Reach north of Braunston

This is just on the Northamptonshire side of the border with Warwickshire. Although the canal is broad here, the deeper water is on the outside of the curve, and the closer to the inside of the curve one gets the shallower it gets...
