More about this scene
The village of Braunston lies on a hill overlooking a picturesque stretch of the Grand Union Canal, one of Britain's most famous inland waterways. Near here is a long tunnel through which boatmen once manoeuvred their narrow boats by exercising maximum physical effort. They lay on their backs and pushed with their feet against the tunnel roof.
