Canal and Waterway Webcams

Please email if you know of any others.

Remember that a webcam may be dark if you are looking at it when it is night at the webcam's location.

Notes (suggested by Peter Hardcastle):

For some reason, webcam links seem to change often, so let me know if you discover that any of these have gone bad.
