Kennet and Avon canal, from Northgate Street bridge, Devizes
Facing west south west. The viewpoint is just to the east of the well-known 2° west meridian (the only line of longitude to coincide exactly with an OS gridline in the UK). The majority of the canal seen in this image lies west of the gridline.

Maton Lock No 49, Kennet and Avon Canal, Devizes
The derelict Maton Lock may have looked very picturesque in 1977 with the swan in attendance, but was, of course, no substitute for the fully working lock that has now been restored here.
