These barges are in residential moorings close to water and waste facilities to the south of the bridge. There are no locks on the canal between Bridge 130 and 131, with the canal taking a semicircular route round the slight hill on which the church stands. Apart from the banks immediately adjacent to the bridge, which have been left clear, the moored narrowboats are solidly tied up along both sides of the canal.
