More about this scene
These are Soulbury Three Locks on the Grand Union Canal north of Leighton Buzzard. The lady is using the rope over the gate to take the last forward movement off the butty boat. Note that the top gate on the second chamber is already open, ready for them. The white building is the Three Locks pub, built to serve canal boatmen.
