More about this scene
This is the Roman canal from the Brayford Pool in Lincoln to the river Trent at Torksey, and it is the oldest canal in England. The Lincoln Co-op (centre left) is no longer located here, but in a more modern store at the other end of the village. There are very few shops along the canal side now. However, there are a couple of pubs still in business, the Ship with the sailing ship pub sign and the Sun with a mounting block outside (centre). Boats still tie up alongside, and the pubs do a good trade during the summer months. During the mid 1980s a foot bridge was built beside the other bridge - no doubt a useful and convenient addition.
