Grand Union Canal, Hunton Bridge

This is looking north from right beside bridge no. 162. In the days of commercial traffic the narrow boat pairs were often crewed by a husband and wife, with their children being conceived, born and brought up 'on the cut'. By the time the boats get here they have already worked 30 locks, with another 130 to go before Birmingham!
