Takara Takes The Turn

Takara, a hotel boat according to the signwriting on the side, swings slowly around to enter Isis Lock and join the Oxford Canal from the River Thames. The sign in the foreground indicates the direction to be taken to join the river. There is also a sign, visible behind the narrowboat which indicates the channel as being in that direction. Moving right to left through this area of open water is the Old Navigation - now too shallow in parts for anything other than canoes and punts. The apartments beyond are on an estate beside Rewley Road.
