More about this scene

This village is less well known than the prodigious Grand Junction Canal tunnel that emerges just to the south. The tunnel is 3075 yards (2811 metres) long and was a considerable feat of engineering when it opened in 1805. The village is largely stone built and was surrounded by stone-pits and small quarries at one time. Later brick houses also feature, including the Blisworth Post Office and Stores in the middle distance. The corner shop advertising Tizer is now a house.
