The Shropshire Union Canal is very popular for leisure cruising, despite its clusters of locks. This image of the canal is north of Market Drayton. The beautifully painted narrowboat "Eleanor Rose" is approaching from the direction of Audlem. A dismantled railway is in the trees at the top of the embankment on the left.
