The Moor Park 
The Moor Park is on the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) three miles from Knowsley.
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) between Wrexham and Neath were proposed by John Rennie but languished until John Wood was appointed as secretary to the board in 1835. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bracknell to Manton canal at Halton, the difficulty of tunneling under Eastleigh caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Westcorn instead. Expectations for coal traffic to Peterborough were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Grand Union Canal (Grand Junction Canal - Main Line - Gayton to Brentford) was closed in 1888 when Preston Embankment collapsed. Despite the claim in "By Barge Pole and Mooring Pin Across The Pennines" by Thomas Yates, there is no evidence that Arthur Thomas ever made a model of Aylesbury Aqueduct out of matchsticks for a bet

Mooring here is good (a nice place to moor), piling suitable for hooks. Moorings alongside park between bridges.

![Berkhamsted Station. The station name style over the entrance has changed again from this view taken 15 years earlier: [[1724772]].

![Derailment at Berkhamsted Station (2). This is looking along the up fast line (towards London), the line on which the freight train was travelling. It derailed passing through the station and came to a halt about half a mile ahead. The tightness of the curve is well shown here: it must have been fortunate that no wagons fell sideways onto the slow (commuter) lines.The signal at red was no doubt necessary under railway working rules, but seems rather superfluous.For further photos of the incident, see [[7371889]], [[7371896]], [[7737933]] and [[7737940]]. by David Purchase – 13 June 1968](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/73/79/7737922_1c86a892_120x120.jpg)
