Grand Union Canal (Paddington Arm): Spikes Bridge Moorings
These are long term residential moorings and a glance at the current satellite imagery suggests that most of these craft were in the same positions several years ago.

Wide-beam cruiser, Paddington Arm, Grand Union Canal
The Paddington Arm is a these days a quiet waterway, very suitable for the cruiser shown here, which is a purpose-built, steel hull vessel, probably about 12 ft. beam. Such a vessel cannot reach the canals of northern England, but it can reach the whole of the Thames, the Wey, the Basingstoke and Kennet and Avon Canals, the Grand Union, and the rivers Lee and Stort, so there is plenty of scope for extensive cruising. The added comfort of a wide-beamed vessel can be appreciated.

The Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal at Southall
The Paddington Arm of the then Grand Junction Canal was opened in 1801 from Bull's Bridge near Southall to Paddington Basin. The canals were initially a success, particularly for transporting coal, building materials and other bulky loads, but the rise of the railways not long after the canals were built substantially reduced their importance. Now they are primarily a leisure facility. The Paddington Arm was one of the last to see the old-fashioned style of regular commercial traffic of paired narrow boats carrying the traditional materials such as coal, oils, and tar. The Paddington Arm now sees regular commercial traffic, usually in the form of aggregates.
The canal is seen here from Spikes Bridge which carries the Dog Rose Ramble and Hillingdon Trail over it.

Malham narrowboat and its distorted reflection
The canal was glassy smooth until this boat arrived, so the boat is reflected in the waves of its wake.
