This is the Grand Union Canal in Loughborough, looking north from near Swingbridge Road Bridge, No 41. On this August Bank Holiday with the sun shining, there was plenty of traffic on the canal. Long-term private linear moorings are on the right. The Loughborough Navigation (including the River Soar) was bought by the Grand Union Canal Carrying Company in 1932.
