In preparation for our trip to along the Wey and Arun canal I thought it might be an idea to get a bit of an insight into canal life and find out some information about the history of canals.
The museum in housed in an old ice warehouse built in the 18th century for Carlo Gatti,the famous ice cream maker, to store ice imported from Norway.
The museum includes a real narrowboat cabin, a history of London's inland waterways, the cargoes carried and the people who lived and worked on canals.
The actual museum was a bit dull and dated it did provide some interesting information and being able to peer down into the huge ice wells used to store the huge quantities of ice was the highlight for me.
