„Hungerford Town Wharf And Lock“

from the gallery of Ian Lewis
Description:

The wharf at Hungerford on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Berkshire. This view is from the town bridge looking upstream to the lock. A pair of boats are about to moor at the wharf. During the mid 1800s, this was a thriving industrial area lined with buildings. Boats would have been busy loading and unloading goods such as Bath stone for building. The canal was constructed between 1794 and 1810 to link the Thames at Reading with Bristol, enabling goods to be transported from London to Bristol.
