More about this scene

Here several small boys and girls are sitting beside the canal. In the past it was once busy with an incessant stream of barges laden with bales of cloth passing through this now-abandoned lock. Along the crest of the hill are the homes of the mill owners, while the workers' houses and the mills themselves were positioned in the valley bottom.
