and 4 locks
to the north) and
Cowley Peachey Junction (Junction with Grand Union Slough Branch) (7½ furlongs
and 1 lock
to the southeast).

away.

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary). Mooring is on a wide stretch of canal. There is a per day penalty for overstaying. It's a shame that some boaters here, or more to say, moorers, run their generators until 09.30pm!.

![The Malt Shovel Pub beside the Grand Union Canal. In my youth in the late '60s, when this was my Friday night hangout, it was known merely as The Shovel, presumably related to the loading and unloading of barges. It seems that the brewery has decided that this name isn't 'catchy' enough and has therefore irrelevantly renamed it.In the centre of the photo, against the wall, can be seen the distance marker [[1754580]]. by Rod Allday – 07 March 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/75/45/1754592_288139ff_120x120.jpg)
