Anyone out there with ancestors who worked on the canals or were lock keepers, if so then this is the site for you! Buckinghamshire Canals Society has maps, photos and restoration reports plus lots of background info.
My great grandfather was a lock keeper at Ivinghoe Locks at the early part of the 19th Century. By chance I found a photo of him on ancestry but the image is too small to read the description underneath, I have since spent hours trawling websites to see if I could find any more photos but no luck. Do you have details of lockeepers or can you recognise where this photo may have come from?
