Description

Views of moored canal boats (looks like Gas Street Basin in Birmingham). We then see shots of boats from the Severn and Canal Carrying Company and views of boats navigating the River Severn (down to Bristol as we see the Clifton Suspension Bridge). The port shots may be a mixture of Gloucester and Bristol. There are also views of Gloucester town centre and briefly the livestock market (some shots have been re-edited and are out of sequence).
