I was interested to know that this branch of the canal was unused
in the 1950's as my younger brother Michael Charles Holmes was found
drowned in lock 21 on 27th September 1953. He was 9 years old. I have
a newspaper article saying that an open verdict was recorded and that
his body was found under an old punt. My dad William Frederick Holmes
had been called to the scene by the police and was standing on the
bridge when Micky's body was found. I returned to the spot many years
later and found a lovely picturesque place.
