Pair of working boats approaching south end Shrewley Tunnel. 1952.
Grid Ref: SP 2154 6706 [GU-031-000]. Note the almost impassable state of the towpath. The specified location of this picture appears to be wrong as it seems to have been taken from too low down for the top of the tunnel, there is no evidence of the towpath ramp on the right and from here, the canal runs straight as far as Bridge 58. Compare with 049045E. However, no better location that would match the picture could be found within 10km north or south.Pair of working boats approaching south end Shrewley Tunnel. 1952.

Warwick & Birmingham Canal notice, near Hatton. August 1965
Possibly John's Bridge, No.55, on Dark Lane, Grid Ref: SP 2345 6676 [GU-033-180]. This matches the brickwork, all other bridges down the flight and near Hatton Station have been replaced with concrete ones, presumably when the canal was widened in the 1930s. If so however, it has now been removed.Warwick & Birmingham Canal notice, near Hatton. August 1965
