Two working barges lashed together exit Coppermill Lock

Two working barges lashed together exit Coppermill Lock
It is a rare sight to see woking barges anymore. These two carry diesel fuel and coal which are essential supplies to the other narrow boats along this section for the Grand Union Canal

Ste, Sarah O', Rosalyn Hilborne, John Goodwin have particularly liked this photo

Yes, it is nice to see, Nick. I presume one barge was powered. Interesting photo... John.

Yes only one barge was using its engine at this time. I suspect that both did have engines to use if necessary ~~~

I agree Dani ~ when I was a child it was the other way around on the canals ~ with all boats working and none for pleasure. Horses were still common for pulling the barges too
