Foxton Locks ~ 1

Rebecca and I took a trip down to Foxton Locks in south Leicestershire earlier today.

It is a flight of ten locks on the Grand Union Canal.

Given that canals were a product of the industrial revolution, maybe this is how they would have looked back then.

More photos later after we've been to see my nephew Matthew to wish him a happy 13th birthday, and then onto cricket practise.

Tomorrow is catch up day, when I hope to catch up with as many of you as possible.

Great photo of the locks - and perfect processing

Fabulous image and processing - looks vintage. Went up Foxton Flight on a canal holiday many years ago and have great memories of that. A fav for me.

This looks a lot like turn of the century postcards in my collection.

This is so beautiful, and I agree with @rvwalker , it looks like an old postcard - really lovely.
