More about this scene
The River Aire cuts a winding course through broad pastures, stony valleys and bustling industrial areas on its way to join the Ouse and the open sea at Asselby Island. It joins the important Aire & Calder Navigation at Knottingley, where the waterway twists and turns for six miles. At Bingley, mills crowd down to the waterside.

The boats in the photo belonged to my great aunt. As a young boy my job (unpaid) was to ferry the boats across the river and pick up any stray boats. I was very small, aged probably 6, could not swim, but there was no health and safety then!! My great-aunt was a very strict Victorian lady. Her motto was "Work comes first". Happy days?
