When Saturday comes in Gilwern ...
The noise of a partisan crowd at a local football match could be heard from the canal towpath and can just about be seen in the picture. No goals were scored, but the ref seemed to be far from popular.

Towpath view, Mon and Brec at Gilwern
The Brecon and Abergavenny Canal was authorised in 1793 and was built in three stages; the northern stage from Brecon in 1796-1800 by engineer Thomas Dadford Jnr, the section from Gilwern to Llanfoist in 1802-5 by Thomas Cartwright and the route from Llanfoist to Pontymoile in 1809-12 by William Crosley. The various sections came under one ownership
in 1865 and became known as the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal, or ‘Mon and Brec’ as canal folk would have it.
The tree lined canal follows contours and affords grand views from the towpath at Gilwern of the Black Mountains, which today look benign and welcoming.
