Canal basins were inland ports. Besides a widened waterway and a quay for mooring barges, there might be goods yards and warehousing. Here heaps of coal are piled on the quay – perhaps the cargo of the barge. The large building next to the canal bridge is the Brig Inn. Resource pack   1     2     3     4
