Grand Union Canal, Boxmoor
'Poppy', a short but colourful narrowboat, is moored - slightly naughtily - to one of the lock landing bollards. With low traffic levels in January she does not really represent too much of an obstruction.

Hemel Hempstead: Chaulden House Tower
Now somewhat incongruously enclosed with lock-up garages this tower and the surrounding stable block are all that remains of the former Chaulden House. The purposes of the tower appear to have been multiple. It was evidently a dovecote but there is evidence online to suggest that it was the residence's water tower. It is a Grade II Listed structure and the English Heritage website described it thus:-
"Mid C19 octagonal tower. Flint rubble, red brick quoins and semi-cylindrical angle mouldings. Pyramidal Welsh slated roof with eaves cornice on console angle brackets. Octagonal wooden lantern with colonnettes, weather vane. Pointed arches to doorway, slit windows and dummy windows. Conch shells set in flint rubble above arches, Pointed arched pigeon holes above windows on 3 sides in 3 rows, lowest 3 light, central 2 light, upper 1 light under conch shell. Continuous band of shells below brick frieze. Included as a curiosity."
The stable block is currently in use by the NHS as the Isbister Centre.

Fishery Lock 63
Named after the pub on the far side, or the pub was named after the lock. A nice boat was coming up the lock. This was wider than a narrowboat, thus having to use the lock singly, but not as wide as a barge or wide boat.
