I think 12 is Oxford

[PrestburyRoad]

6 could be on the Grand Union Canal, with its twin 12-foot-wide locks - the 'track' was doubled at the locks to avoid delays at single locks.  It looks to be towards London with the yellow bricks.

Is 10 Kintbury?

Sorry wrong canal

Regent's Canal, St Pancras Lock.

But ... wasn't the Regents Canal a branch of the Grand Union at one point in its history?


Edit to add from Wikipedia ...

The Regent's Canal and Dock Company became part of the merged Grand Union Canal Company on 1 January 1929.

... and it was very much a part of the City of London / Docklands to Birmingham truncates canal and operationally linked to the Grand Union.

[TonyN]

Yes true but then some would say that the Grand union was a company rarther than a Canal the main part being the Grand Junction. We need Richard Fairhust to adjudicate on this one.
