More about this scene
The lock-keepers' cottages served the flight on the section known as the Leicester Line. Top Lock cottage in particular has magnificent views of the rolling countryside. Cruising has become a significant leisure activity, and the shop on the left serves a busy passing trade, especially during the summer. Behind the trees is the Foxton inclined plane, a late 19th-century engineering feat that lifted loaded barges up the hillside in a cradle. Today it is being renovated.
