A pair of full-length narrowboats below bridge 24 on the Grand Union Canal near Long Itchington. Although both these boats were used to carry retail coal for many years, they do not date back to the canal's commercial heyday: both are comparatively modern boats having been built at Braunston in the 1980s.
