In the past week, 3 times the boat crossed an elevated aqueduct that passed OVER other canals. Twice there were 4-way level junctions.

There was money to burn in the late 1700s and early 1800s…!

It's amazing that—however briefly—it was profitable to build all this infrastructure in order to move goods by barge and power the industrial revolution.

In the olden, golden days of yore, when horses pulled boats along the canals, speed was of the essence.

The faster you could go, the sooner you could get your next load, the more money you could earn.

Wherever there was a bridge the horse couldn't go under, it would have to be unhitched, walked around, and rehitched – time consuming!
Any small bridges had a slot for the tow rope to pass through. (See photo.)

A footbridge over a lock, used by lock operators to get from the gate and paddles on one side pf the lock to the gate and paddles on the other side of the lock.

The bridge and its railing are painted on traditional British Waterways black and white.

DB or Derek Barge’s are used for dredging and waterside construction. I hear it’s super stable work, but fucking boring as you just sit on one spot for days

Digital color photo of a river barge named “LOMO” moored at a quay in the evening. Thick ropes secure it to the dock, and a repurposed tire serves as a fender. Warm, low-angle sunlight casts long shadows on the barge and the laid stone ground. In the background, white modern buildings and trees line the riverbank. (Photo by me, CC-BY-4.0)
