Description: The Kennet and Avon Canal at Crofton Locks, Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire, England.. The buildings in the distance are the Crofton Pumping Station which houses the beam pumping engines that used to keep the canal fed with water. They have been preserved and are operated several times a year for visitors. The smoke shows the boilers are being stoked up for a day's work!
