A nice little resting place on the canal. A bank invites you to take a break.

The Canal Cottage, also known as the Toll Collector's House, is a charming and historical building that adds character to the waterways and canals it once served. 🏡🌊

Situated along the banks of the canal, this quaint cottage holds a unique place in the local history, offering a glimpse into the past when canals were vital for transportation and trade.

The Toll Collector's House was once a hub of activity, where tolls were collected from passing boats and barges. Today, it stands as a picturesque reminder of the important role that canals played in shaping the economic and social landscape of the region.

While the toll collection has long ceased, the Canal Cottage stands as a quiet witness to the changing tides of time, inviting you to appreciate the stories and significance that it holds. 🏡🌅🌊
