Canal Boats at Stoke Bruerne / Barcos de canal en Stoke Bruerne, UK.
(Descripción en español a continuación ....)
During a family visit back to the UK in August 2012, we took the opportunity to visit the Grand Union Canal at Stoke Bruerne in Northamptonshire. I have always loved canals, having owned a small canal cruiser on the Monmouthshire and Brecon canal before moving to Spain, so it was wonderful to see all the roses and castles (boat decoration) again!
More information about the UK canal network can be found on the Canal and River Trust website:

Stoke Bruerne Viilage at War
It's that time of year again where the beautiful village of Stoke Bruerne in Northamptonshire is the setting for the Village at War weekend. There is so much to see and do including watching 40's inspired entertainment, classic cars and military vehicles and of course the working boats on the canal. This is the first time we have attended the show and I must say it was well worth the visit.

154. Narrowboat cruise from Yardley Gobion to Blisworth via Stoke Bruerne
After several days at Yardley Gobion, during which time I had the boatyard opposite look at - and hopefully fix - the diesel leak, I carried on with my return journey up the Grand Union canal, going back through Gayton, up the Stoke Bruerne locks and up through Blisworth tunnel (no signs of any ghosts this time round).

142. Is this a ghostly encounter in Blisworth Tunnel in my canal narrowboat..?
In this video I take my narrowboat on the Grand Union canal from near Gayton Junction to Stoke Bruerne, via Blisworth - and Blisworth tunnel - all 3,075 yards of it. Weirdly, as I went through, there was a bit of an unsettling ghostly apparition...

The Locks, Startops End (Marsworth, Buckinghamshire)
When the canal was heavily used during Victorian times there was a major problem with the supply of water, The original locks (for instance the one on the left of the picture) took two narrowboats at a time and this wasted water when only one narrowboat passed through, The solution was to build extra parallel half-width locks, which only took one narrowboat at a time. Where the lock was immediately adjacent to a bridge the bridge had to be extended with an additional arch. After a comparatively short time the scheme was abandoned, and now all the narrow locks have been filled in, apart from one which acts as a dry dock at Tring Summit. This picture shows the narrow lock at Startops End after it had been closed for traffic but before it was filled in.
The Grand Union Canal in England is part of the British canal system. Its main line starts in London and ends in Birmingham, stretching for 137 miles (220 km) with 166 locks.[1] It has arms to places including Leicester, Slough, Aylesbury, Wendover and Northampton.[2]
The Grand Union Canal was also the original name for part of what is now part of the Leicester Line of the modern Grand Union: this latter is now generally referred to as the Old Grand Union Canal in order to avoid ambiguity.
With competition from the railways having taken a large share of traffic in the second half of the 19th century, improvements in roads and vehicle technology in the early part of the 20th century meant that the lorry was also becoming a threat to the canals. Tolls had been reduced to compete with the railways, but there was little scope for further reduction. The Regent's Canal and the Grand Junction Canal agreed that amalgamation and modernisation were the only way to remain competitive.
The Grand Union Canal in its current form came into being on 1 January 1929, and was further extended in 1932. It was formed from the amalgamation of several different canals, and at 286.3 miles (461 km) is by far the longest canal in the UK:
