I read somewhere that the bay window on the upper floor was so the lockeeper could see up & down the canal & keep an eye on what was going on. Can anyone say if this is true?

Nice clear photo, lots to look at.

It is, indeed, a very pleasant photo, Maureen.

Quite peaceful.

Well done, as usual, Dave....

Your new "toy" certainly performs well Dave, good shot.

HoT, it would make sense to have that bay window as on observation post.
