Don't think so. I've never known the Limehouse Cut as badly overgrown on the towpth side as shown here. I'd expect a canal in an Ian Ranking book to be in Scotland - almost certainly the Union Canal. But that doesn't mean the publisher's photographer woud necessarily photograph the correcy canal. Mike Stevens narrowboat Felis Catus III web-site www.mike-stevens.co.uk Defend the waterways.
