A clearer picture of Tixall Wide, from NB Inca's blog.
This is the more information about Tixall Wide I promised.
Tixall Wide,
also known as Tixall Broad or The Broad Water, is a body of water that forms
part of the Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal near Tixall in
Staffordshire, England, to the south of the former Tixall Hall. The Wide ( lake
) was probably created during the construction of the canal in 1771. It is said
the owner of Tixall Hall “gave permission for the canal to pass through his
land on the condition that it was made ... wide enough to look like a lake from
the house". Thus the view would not be spoiled.
