The Grand Union Canal in the 1930s

An amazing film from the Huntley Film Archives following showing canal boats travelling from London up to Birmingham in the 1930s when the canals were for freight not fun!

The film shows inland waterway traffic on the Thames, Regent's Canal and Grand Union Canal all of which i have walked extensively over the years. Some things of course look very different now but some things are unchanged, though you may need to look closely sometimes!
