More about this scene
The Aylesbury arm of the Grand Union departs from the main line at Marsworth, and has some 16 locks in 6 miles, very narrow and not for the faint-hearted. Here, children are trying their luck at fishing in the Aylesbury Arm of the Grand Union Canal. Just beyond the bridge is the delightfully named Hills and Partridges Lock.
