Looking south from above Ireland's Farm, seen at the foot of the hill. The trees in the middle distance are on the embankment of the long disused original railway to Henley-in-Arden from Rowington Junction.

Edge Lane

This green lane, the name suggests, runs along the edge of the escarpment to the east of Henley in Arden. It was severed by the building of a cutting through the escarpment for the original railway to Henley in Arden from Rowington Junction. Today portions of the lane are still in use, in this case to a cottage at Parsonfield.

Dick's Lane Bridge

One of the characteristic Stratford-upon-Avon split bridges at the tail of the lock. These bridges were built with a gap in the middle to allow the towing line to drop down the middle in the days of horse drawn narrow boats. This meant that the bridge did not need to be wide enough to have a towpath (and thus was cheaper to build) and the boat could pass through without unhitching the tow line. Needless to say such bridges can only carry light loads.

Dick's Lane lock house

Another characteristic sight by the Stratford-upon-Avon canal is these barrel roof lock-keepers' houses. The shape is said to be the result of using the formwork originally used for constructing the brick arches for the heavier bridges over the canal as roofing supports.

M40 crossing Stratford on Avon canal

Given the choice between the two pictured modes of transport, I know which one I'd rather be on. In fact, I was on my preferred choice as my wife took this picture whilst I guided the boat into the lock. This is lock 27, Lapworth Bottom Lock, and I suppose the official start of the Lapworth Flight. Lapworth Top Lock is 25 locks away.

Strictly, 4:56:55 GMT because I forgot to reset the camera when we put the clocks forward. What a farce! Whatever. The photo includes some characteristic elements of this corner of modern Warwickshire: the M40 crosses the South Stratford canal by bridge 39A; the structure beyond the lorry is a radio mast for Chiltern Railways on the Snow Hill line; big houses are tucked away among the trees; and the fields of oilseed rape are relatively small.
