More about this scene

Linton-on-Ouse is situated north-west of York in the broad Vale of York. It is a quiet day at the lock: the lock keeper's cottage, a neat and tidy 18th-century structure, waits for passing traffic, but the river seems deserted.

My grandfather Bertie Dawson was the Lock Keeper for several years.  I also lived there from around 1953 for 3 years, very happy memories !
