Canal meets railway at Lower Heyford*

The water was still still at 0945 when we cruised through Lower Heyford last month.


The railway and canal come very close to each other here, with a convenient station. It's reminiscent of Bournville on the Worcester and Birmingham ...


... only not quite so purple.


* yes, I know the canal came first

I presume the purple is Cadbury colour. We thought that Bourneville was disappointing to look at when we passed. Probably the least pleasant bit on that canal.

I think you're right about the colour. If you leave your boat on the secure mooring and walk a short distance you'll see some fancy moulding work on the Bournville Social Club.

Neil, I've just found where I posted a photo of Bournville Social Club - it's here: http://jhalfie.blogspot.com/2010/01/crumbs-cadburys-in-kraft-coup-or.html
