A weeping willow overhanging the Grand Union Canal. This section of the canal was built as the Warwick & Napton Canal and opened in 1800. A link canal with relatively little local traffic, it suffered badly from railway competition from the 1830s. It became part of the Grand Union Canal in 1929, and was restored in the 1930s with concrete banks and many new locks and bridges. https://www.ourwarwickshire.org.uk/content/catalogue_her/the-warwick-and-birmingham-canal
