Canal Boat at Godnow Bridge.(2)
Monday 13th May 1996. Narrow boat on the Stainforth & Keadby Canal at Godnow Bridge, North Lincolnshire. The boat is about to be moored again and a member of its crew will then close the electric swing bridge.
In the centre of the shot is the old crossing keeper’s box on the remains of the station. If the box looks like it is leaning to the left it is. The foundations had moved and it has since been demolished and replaced by a modern but sympathetically designed building. The level crossing which can just be seen was worked then and still is by the crossing keeper leaving his box and pushing or pulling the crossing gates by hand.
