A narrowboat that was trapped in a lock on the Kennet & Avon Canal in Bath has been refloated. It got stuck as it was travelling through Widcombe on 1 November.
Work due to start to free trapped canal boat
Work is due to begin this morning to remove a canal boat that is trapped in a lock on the Kennet and Avon Canal in Bath.
The narrowboat, which is thought to have been hired by a stag party, was trying to go through the lock on Saturday 1 November when it got stuck on a ledge. The waterway has now been closed for a fortnight.
The Canal & River Trust says it is unclear how long it will take to free the boat.
