This morning because its Saturday we had a bacon sarnie for breakfast and we decided not to travel far today we only went through two locks and stopped outside the village of Whittington, we visited the local hostelry the Whittington inn which was built in 1312 and was home to Dick Whittington grandfather and lady Jane Grey whose ghost is suppose to haunt the premises.
At one of the locks you could see where they carved an opening and a stable into the sandstone rock so that they could stable the horses that pulled the barges overnight, also on the bridge you can see where the ropes have eroded the stones over time.
See you tomorrow.
