Canal Tavern - South Parade, Thorne, Yorkshire, UK. - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

It was not uncommon for a local publican or businessman to set up drinking facilities for the workers who dug canals - this would after all have been thirsty work and a good source of income.

The men who undertook this task were often known as 'navigators' or 'navvies'. there are a number of canal-side pubs called 'The Navigator'.
