Newbury Bridge, crossing the River Kennet here at Newbury in West Berkshire, was completed in 1772 to replace earlier wooden structures dating from at least the 14th century. Despite appearances it has three arches, the two outer ones being incorporated in adjoining buildings. The Kennet & Avon Canal, mostly built in the very early 19th century, for 87 miles follows the River Avon before connecting to the River Kennet at Newbury, and then on to the River Thames at Reading. As this stone-built bridge pre-dated the canal, there was no provision for a towpath under the bridge. Thus, to haul barges a line had to be floated under the bridge and then re-attached to the horse where the towpath resumed.
Pedestrian and cycle traffic on the Birmingham and Warwick Junction canal towpath was certainly up on the usual levels, possibly due to the industrial action taking place on 21 June. A cyclist and pedestrian meet as 66303 Rail Riders awaits the right away with 4Z92 South Bank to Daventry Tesco company train which had been severely delayed due to issues with points in the Kingsbury area, finally departing 141 minutes down.
Sunday was a great day for a run or a bicycle ride along the I & M Canal towpath as seen here at Lock 8. Processed with Nik Color Efex Pro 4

... a familiar environment.
To my wonderful friends on Flickr:- I'm away for a week from today. Hope you have a great week and thanks for all your support!
The Westway kisses the Grand Union Canal before swooping away. Two trunk routes from very different eras frame Erno Goldfinger’s brutalist masterpiece Trellick Tower. Trellick’s grade 2* listed status saved it from the flammable cladding used to “beautify” nearby Grenfell Tower with such tragic consequences.
Autumn colors line the Towpath on a breezy Halloween morning. Wildwood Park, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
Selling lots of their lovely homemade goods from their narrowboats, nice to see it thriving, who needs internet shopping.
It's amazing what you can find a few hundred meters from the town center. The towpath seems to be a haven for wild flowers.

Just east of Queens Head nr Oswestry, Shropshire, UK. The near bridge is a farm access, the far one the Gobowen - Shrewsbury railway line. The tow path is very rough for cycling!

Man made, yet natural, beauty along the Canal de la Robine. A canal that links Narbonne to the more famous Canal du Midi, which crosses the Languedoc region of France.
Having decided to go out and snap the northbound Whistler tour I couldn't believe my luck when, in the space of a few minutes, a southbound Shed crossed Dutton Viaduct to be followed shortly afterwards by this Tug. The Shed, snapped from the other side, never made the cut but I thought Tug had merit, especially seeing as they've been scarce along this stretch of the West Coast Mainline in recent times.
DB Cargo unit 60059 is doing the honours with the 8.47am Arpley Sidings - Tunstead Sidings (6H02) - it's nice to see a Tug on the River Weaver for a change!
