What is recorded here
Grand Union Canal - Castlethorpe is a heritage place in West Northamptonshire, England. Perhaps the water still moves through Castlethorpe, carrying the shape of every boat that ever passed. Maybe the canal bed remembers the weight of goods and the patience of people who loaded them at dawn. Imagine the towpath marked by boots, not wheels, each step pressing a name into the clay.
