Canal boat remains stuck in a lock in Bath
A narrowboat that capsized in the Kennet and Avon Canal is still stuck in a lock in Bath.
The boat is believed to have been hired by a stag party. It tipped over after one end became stuck on a ledge in the lock at Widcombe. No one was injured.
The waterway remains closed while the Canal River Trust works out the safest way to remove it.
It comes eight months after the canal was blocked by another hired narrowboat. Read more here.
