With the warm weather finally arriving, the activity on the canals have increased. Nottingham city centre has a canal running by it and gets quite busy in the summer months. A number of canalside apartments & bars have sprung up in Nottingham, and as this photo shows two narrowboat owners have stopped off for a quick one. The actor Timothy West is a keen user of the canals and presently narrates a series on ITV called Water World, which is dedicated to life on the canals in the Midlands.
Oh our summer has just ended...good for you it's just starting!
ReplyDeleteThose two narrowboats are owned by the City Council (Youth & Community I think) and are at their regular moorings. They take city kids for trips through Trent Lock (Long Eaton) and down the Soar towards Leicester.
