Grand Junction Canal from Stow Hill near Upper Heyford, Northamptonshire, 1819. Artist: John Hassell
Grand Junction Canal from Stow Hill near Upper Heyford, Northamptonshire, 1819. A lime kiln can be seen in the centre of the picture. Lime became important to agriculture, building (urban expansion at this time) and the growing chemical industry. The Grand Junction Canal was part of the network linking London with the Midlands manufacturing towns, and with Liverpool. The canal was built between 1793 and 1805, with William Jessop as its chief engineer, and James Barnes as resident engineer responsible for most of the day to day construction. It was originally planned to build the canal from Braunston to the Thames at Brentford, but in 1794 it was decided to build a branch to Paddington, which was much closer to central London. From Tour of the Grand Junction by J Hassell, 1819

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Grand Junction Canal from Stow Hill near Upper Heyford, Northamptonshire, 1819" takes us back to a significant era in British history. Painted by the talented artist John Hassell, this artwork showcases not only the picturesque landscape but also highlights the industrial advancements of the time. In the center of the picture stands a lime kiln, symbolizing the growing importance of lime in agriculture, urban expansion, and chemical industries. Lime played a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and building construction during this period. The Grand Junction Canal itself was an engineering marvel connecting London with manufacturing towns in the Midlands and Liverpool. Constructed between 1793 and 1805 under William Jessop's leadership as chief engineer and James Barnes' supervision as resident engineer, it revolutionized transportation at that time. Originally planned to reach Brentford on Thames from Braunston, plans changed when a branch was added towards Paddington for easier access to central London. This decision further solidified its significance as part of Britain's expanding canal network. Through vibrant colors and meticulous detail captured through aquatint technique by John Hassell himself, this print provides us with a glimpse into rural life during the early 19th century. It beautifully portrays nature's harmony with man-made structures like canals while showcasing horses peacefully grazing nearby. Preserved by Heritage Images for our appreciation today, this piece serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical documentation of England's rich geographical features intertwined with human progress.
