Moored At Monkey Bridge Newbury
Moored At Monkey Bridge Newbury
Narrow boats moored on the banks of the Kennet and Avon Canal at Monkey Bridge on the outskirts of Newbury. This image was captured late on a sunny February afternoon as the sun was beginning to go down. The Kennet and Avon Canal, 87 miles long, was constructed between 1794 and 1810 to link the Kennet and Avon rivers and thus provide a smooth transport link between Bristol and London via Reading and the Thames. It fell into disuse but has been completely restored and was reopened in 1990.
