Crofton Locks on the Kennet and Avon before restoration

Observant readers will notice that we have moved on to the March 1971 issue of the IWA Bulletin and that it cost me 20p.

The best photo in this one is on the cover, which shows one of the Crofton flight of locks on Kennet and Avon Canal. You will find it near Great Bedwyn in Wiltshire.

The whole canal is now navigable, which - as  you can see - was not the case in 1971.
