More about this scene

The 'Welford Arm' runs east for one and a half miles from the Leicester branch of the Grand Union Canal and opened in 1814. Its main aim was to supply water to the main canal from Sulby Reservoir, and later Welford and Naseby reservoirs. This view is of the wharf at Welford. The canal fell into total disuse after World War II, but was restored and reopened in 1969.
