A photograph sent
to me by Gerald Quartley clearly shows the name on the narrow boat to be
"Faith". |

I got myself in a
muddle with this one. It should read...
Looking east down the canal where there are
about fifty powered boats moored along the towpath.
To the west the canal is blocked for a short distance, but a new
alignment is possible to the south through council depot. |

Apologies to Vic
Miller for wrongly identifying the builders of his boat.
A conventionally shaped narrow boat of an
unusual construction. The
boat is a Sea Otter built of welded aluminium which makes it light
enough to be towed. When it is launched ballast tanks are flooded to give it
stability. Nonsuch
belongs to a long time W&BCAG member Vic Miller and this was the
boat’s first taste of the water. |

The artist has now been
identified.
Cricklade church in the background with the River Thames running
alongside the canal. After
West Mill lift bridge the canal crossed the river on an aqueduct.
This is a water colour, painted c. 1900, by
Ernest Haslehust. |

The lock
can't be be Grove Top as there is not a tail bridge.
The caption has been altered to read...
Recent information
suggests that this is probably the pound below Lime Kiln Lock, which is
the second lock down the Grove flight of six locks. Some re-positioning
of the lock and re-alignment of the pound will probably be necessary in
order to pass Grove. |
