Regent's Canal, Stepney in 2003

The group of people are members of Ashford (Kent) Ramblers who had travelled by minibus to Limehouse Basin for a 7-mile circular walk along canal towpaths (Limehouse Cut, Lee Navigation, Hertford Union Canal and Regent’s Canal). Here the group is watching a narrowboat leaving the lock. It is interesting to compare this view with that of Image which shows a new building is being erected to replace the one that can be seen behind the group. Also, beyond the bridge, the tower block was in the process of being erected when I took my picture.
