Foxton Locks Festival is still going ahead! The team are up on the field now getting everything set up! Rain ain't stopping us!!

Gordon Thomas's Grand Junction Canal Acts' book kindly gifted to the museum by his great grandchildren.

We had the pleasure of meeting Gordon Thomas's great granddaughters, Pat Kaenzler and Pauline Statham. They gifted the museum with Gordon Thomas's book of acts of Parliament relating to the Grand Junction.

If you like waterway history, spend a bit of time watching these.
