To keep dry while underway, some boaters use a pram—a tent-like shelter with plastic-sheet windows. But prams must be lowered at each bridge.
Not just prams; boaters, cyclists and pedestrians also must duck.
Downhill of each lock, canal towpaths descend sharply, like a ramp—the horses that towed canal boats had to stay level beside the boat.
Where those ramps dive under a low, unlit bridge: duck!
