Bathampton Bridge no. 183 :
=================================================1977
Seen from the west in 1977 before canal restoration. The bridge carries a minor metalled lane.

These weight limit signs were erected by the GWR after 1901, most of them using lengths of disused broad gauge rail as posts.
The railway line east of Bath toward Westbury was built in the 1860's to broad gauge standards, when it was changed to standard gauge by statutary demands in the 1890's much of the disused rail was recycled on the Kennet and Avon Canal, which was then in GWR ownership. MEP

2007 Don't know why you need a map on a canal, can only go two ways. GEOprojects maps are the cheapest and cover a lot of ground, or you can really splash out and get a Nicholson's.
In true style we set out for a week's canal boating, got to Bathampton found we had not got any map to guide us and had to moor up and head back to Bath to retrieve it from the car.

A really nice pub, albeit with a captive audience as we were holed up here for two hours while some of us went back to Bath for the map.

Retirement homes by the Kennet and Avon Canal, built 1986. The development was named after the Harbutt's Plasticine factory which previously occupied the site.
Plasticine (modelling clay) was invented by local art teacher William Harbutt, and manufactured at his Bathampton factory from 1900 to 1983 (more information at Wikipedia Link

Candy's Bridge no. 184 :
=================================================1977 Took a trip on the waterbus, late 1970's, and later learned that the gentleman organizing the trip and steering was nearly blind and could hardly see the front of the boat. Very little traffic on the canal at that time, just the occasional canoe and rowing boat. We survived.
This was taken in 1977 and possibly before this part of the canal had been officially re-opened, but a waterbus is seen here ready to leave Candy's Bridge. I did not record its destination, but it appears to be facing eastwards as the picture shows the west face of the bridge.

The Kennet and Avon's status as a broad canal means that there are some strange looking craft to be found here. This one is just west of Candy's Bridge.

The Kennet and Avon Canal is home to some odd looking craft but this vessel, moored close to Folly Footbridge, is one of the strangest.
by Stephen McKay

Seen from the east in 1977. The bridge just carries a public footpath but is well used by local walkers, being proximal to built-up areas.

On a pleasant evening the Kennet & Avon Canal at Bath is a nice place for boating, walking and cycling.

When Brunel laid out the route of the Great Western Railway from Paddington to Bristol he was left with only a narrow strip of land between the river Avon and the elevated canal on the eastern approach to Bath. Here the canal towers over the nearby railway. Looking north east
