Top lock, Kennet & Avon Canal
Taken from the same spot as Image, but looking the other way, towards Bathwick. This is one of a total of 105 locks on the whole 87 miles of mixed canal and navigable river which make up the K&A.
The K&A is made up of two stretches of navigable river linked by a canal which was constructed in the late 18th and early 19th Centuries. As usual, the navigation fell into disuse when the Victorians discovered railways, and became more or less derelict by the early 20th Century. It was restored, largely by volunteers, and finally reopened completely in 1990.

The ?Charlotte Dundas? at Widcombe Top Lock, 1966
1966 was a time when the drive to reopen the Kennet and Avon Canal was in its early years.
The 'Charlotte Dundas' was the first craft to offer trips, initially over a short stretch from Widcombe Top Lock in Bath. It was a purpose built paddle-wheel craft, diesel powered with hydraulic drive. This layout enabled it to travel in either direction, the rudder being moved from one end to the other, as there was no facility to turn the boat. It later moved to provide trips in the Devizes area when progress had been made on restoration of that section of the canal.
Behind is the Listed Grade II former Baird's Maltings, built 1812.
This is how the canal looks in the early 21st century https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5417044
