More about this scene

Half a mile north of New Mill is a complex of reservoirs; they were built by the Grand Junction Canal in the 1830s to store water for the Marsworth Flight of locks, whereby the canal descends from the Tring Gap onto the Vale of Aylesbury. These are now nature reserves and popular with walkers, as is the canal towpath itself. Here at Lock 39 the Lower Icknield Way crosses the canal beside the White Lion pub, which was built to slake the thirst of bargees in the mid 19th century.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was born in January 1942 on the estate of Lord Rothschild in Home Farm, the former estate manager's residence. Lambeth Maternity Hospital in London was bombed and my mother was sent to Tring.
I was 14 years old when I spent holidays with my cousins Tony and Ivy Webster, they have now both died and I remember them with much love.
