Grand Union Canal

Uploaded by usenetposts on Feb 22, 2008
Here is a mainly gallery piece following my recent walk from home to Kings Langley along the towpath of the historic Grand Union Canal, which has linked London and Birmingham since the days of the Industrial Revolution.
New developments seen on most of this, such as the Apsley marina, are all new and in my youth much of this part of the canal was derelict. Not everything in the UK has gone downhill - most of what I've photographed in this film is actually evidence of renewal and improvement, and we see how the prestigious canalside homes in some less known Hertfordshire places like Belswains Lane have lifestyles akin to such places as Grantchester or Henley, with prices to match, no doubt.

The place I walked to was close to the birthplace of Nicholas Breakspeare, the only English Pope in history, who was pontiff of Rome as Adrian IV from 1155 to 1159. He is known mainly for being the first Pope to place the City of Rome under interdict.

Pleasure. Another famous visitor to the town in the Middle Ages was Henry VIII. He used to go there to see a local lady.
