I've got one of those too ? Sadly it really needs rescanning in greater res. And it's Sandpiper (rather than Crane) and we are going t'other way in 1980. Other than that ...

Ah, yes, we did a GU/Thames/Oxford fortnight from Rugby including a visit to Old Father Thames and the tidal bit under Tower Bridge (clockwise) - so twice in at Brentford.

Quick visit-in-passing in February this year had the Thames in a bit of a ragey-mood, but no boats moving to compare the headroom.

If I were a betting man I would put 5p on this being Shipton Weir Lock, with the wide expanse at the top of the photograph being the river Cherwell and the photographer standing on the footbridge - the footbridge being a nuisance when going downhill with an empty grand Union motor as the cratch catches if the Cherwell is up a bit  

[Dav and Pen]

Pete you are right. It’s such a long while since I went that way when I found the photo I could only remember Aynho being that shaped lock.

I would bet 10p...

Times must be harder for me than they are you as I thought 5p was being flippant, even though I knew I was right - but I  am not a betting man so it is my loss on this occasion

There's a nice mooring off to the right of the lock, you can tie up to a nice strong post that used to have a "no mooring" sign on it. It's not entirely obvious who the land belongs to, I would assume it's CRT as it is part of the lock structure.

Yes I believe CRT and was a great place to overnight. Sadly someone decided to long term moor there a few years back...don't know if they are still there.

I might have stretched to 15p
