Kennet and Avon Canal. Taken over by the GWR in 1852, the canal traffic was discouraged, and the last through journey took place in 1951, only 2 years after this photo. Restoration took place during the last three decades of the 20th century, and the canal is navigable once again over its full length.

Hungerford railway station, on the former GWR line from Reading to Westbury and further westwards; at the date of the photo it had been part of the British Railways Western Region for a little over a year.

On the north side of Hungerford lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal - the canal was to form a major line of resistance during WW2 should the Germans have invaded the country.
