  FLADBURY 
  LOCK, 
  ON 
  THE 
  AVON, 
  TYPICAL 
  OF 
  THE 
  LITTLE 
  USED 
  WATERWAY 
  

  

  This 
  lock 
  would 
  not 
  fill, 
  so 
  the 
  author 
  and 
  his 
  companion 
  had 
  to 
  portage 
  their 
  canoe 
  nearly 
  

   three-quarters 
  of 
  a 
  mile. 
  Note 
  the 
  bushes 
  growing 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  gate 
  itself.

  TEWKESBURY 
  

  

  Notice 
  the 
  ferry, 
  with 
  its 
  gates 
  at 
  either 
  end 
  to 
  prevent 
  animals 
  breaking 
  overboard 
  if 
  

   alarmed. 
  Edward, 
  Prince 
  of 
  Wales, 
  slain 
  by 
  the 
  Yorkists 
  in 
  T471, 
  is 
  buried 
  in 
  the 
  magnificent 
  

   abbey 
  church 
  near 
  by, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  specimens 
  of 
  early 
  Norman 
  architecture 
  in 
  England.
