On the far right Atherstone station platforms may be seen. Between the canal and the railway in now residential development, but in 1944 a government instigated rail-served grain store was built here, one of several across the country. It may have still been there in 1964, just out of sight to the right. The boat is being cleaned as return to the hire base at Stretton Stop was only three locks away, plus the trivial ones at Hawkesbury Junction.
