More about this scene
Here we see two horse-drawn narrow boats, the 'Linnet' and the 'Evelyn', belonging to George Garside, at the attractively sited lock in Cassiobury Park, Watford. The horse on the left is waiting to haul the boats, which are 'breasted up' together in the lock. This was just one lock in the long climb from the west edge of London up the Chilterns: there were 25 miles and 42 locks on the Grand Junction Canal (later to become part of the Grand Union), the original main transport artery between London and Birmingham.
