NORTHAMPTON ARM 10 YEARS ADOPTION ANNIVERSARY

Richard Parry, CEO of The Canal & River Trust, with Bernard

Morton after unveiling the plaque and mural commemorating 200 years of the opening of the Northampton Arm.

A mosaic mural to mark the 200th anniversary of the opening of the Northampton Canal Arm on 1st May 1815 has been unveiled at Gayton Junction on the Grand Union Canal. This was the first of our art installations and is at the junction of the Arm and the GU. Other works of art soon followed mosaic bench at Lock 16 and murals under the M1 bridge near Lock 12 and the mosaic nature trail. Our celebrations on 3rd September at 12noon by locks 6 and 7 would be an ideal opportunity to view some of these, socialise and enjoy some refreshments. Just let Sandie Morton know if you are planning on coming. sandiemorton@gmail.com or phone 07917 163860
