More about this scene

A pair of boats prepares to enter a lock. The left-hand one – the 'Stafford' – sports its Fellows, Morton & Clayton livery, a company that stopped trading when the canals were nationalised in 1948. The right-hand boat is the 'Shad', an ex-FMC motor in the colour of its new owners.
