Daventry, The Canal c.1965

More about this scene
A motorised narrow boat tows its butty along behind – on the open canal, the 'snubber' or towing rope was normally 60 feet long. They are heading south on the Grand Union Canal from Braunston Tunnel. At Braunston the canal drops sharply through six locks. The somewhat precarious towing path seen here has been reinstated now, and forms part of the long-distance London to Birmingham footpath.
