Backpackering 12 - Day 5


A short  walk down to the lake


on the way to visit Little Venice. Humm, is some one contemplating a possible painting?

.
And here it is.


I think this is the place I took a photo of Polly on our family visit in '86. Will correct if not on returning to the Court. Stupid not to have checked before leaving home. Derrrrr.


Got it right!


Anyway, moving on, this the part of the canal is where a cotton factory used to be. Founded in 1804, making it one of the first factories set up on the continent and by 1811, was employing over a 1,000 workers. It did not close until 1955. (Wikipedia)
