More about this scene
This is a typical Oxford Canal drawbridge. You may be surprised to learn that they are quite easy to operate, for they are very well-balanced. The two gentlemen in the picture are enjoying a lazy afternoon's fishing, whilst their female companion appears to be absorbed in a book and utterly oblivious to our photographer.
