Saturday 10th September 2022
Welcome to a brief if still bright and breezy edition of my UK travels this summer and as these two quintessentially English locations are just three miles apart, I’ve condensed them into a tightly packed if still rambling and bumbling (w)hole. Both of these canal locations have been on my summer wanted list for some time and after some recent mighty efforts on the Shropshire Union, Llangollen and Montgomery canals, I finally settled for something a little nearer home and I’m thoroughly pleased I did so.
Bumble Hole (and local nature reserve)
Renowned for its rich history and the embracing of the present, Saturday 10th September happened to fall within the “Black Country Boating Festival” and alas I arrived just as the first market stalls and huge funfair attractions were being readied for the long day ahead. I arrived and left just as the morning was on the cusp of being very busy along this small, quaint and picturesque stretch of the canal and I hope you enjoy the minimal colour commentary added to each image captured this morning.
Delph Locks
Quite simply, I rather fell in love with an image similar to that which heads this article and I had to see the locks for myself. It’s just so quintessentially English!
18 images follow, 9 from each location, and all were captured by me on a warm if overcast English Saturday morning, on 10th September 2022
Thanks for reading. My “Summer Project” has taken me to the waterways as well as many local historical and religious ruins as I’ve crisscrossed the border between England and Wales, and my three most recently published travel articles are linked below:
