The Jubilee Queen
One last journey for this old boat - one of education. The old Wilts and Berks Canal used to run along here and then into the town centre but is now halted in this gravel bed. Some information boards give details of life on the waterways.

Approaching the end of the Calne Branch
What looks like an infilled lock chamber marks the end of the restored section of the Calne Branch of the Wilts and Berks Canal. Opened in 1801 and abandoned in 1914, the canal is now being slowly restored by the Wilts and Berks Canal Trust.

Locked completely
One of the old canal locks still stands with water on one side. It clearly is not a genuine functioning lock as the other side is now earth and gravel.
