I suspect many people who live locally made visits to Foxton Locks several years ago and don’t realise how many changes have been made to the museum and how the newer pathways make it possible to appreciate the layout of the inclined plane/boat lift.

On Saturday 22nd November we rocked the night away singing numbers including Sweet Child of Mine, Don't fear the Reaper, Start Me Up/Living on a Prayer, and We Will Rock You.
