As Andy has correctly said, this is where the River Cherwell leaves the Oxford Canal just above Shipton Weir Lock.
The blue boat is moored on the river, in the supposedly unnavigable section above the weir. Jan is steering Shadow into the lock just out of shot on the right.
The position of the lettering on the sign suggests that there used to be a word or words above "Oxford Canal". Perhaps it read "British Waterways" or British Waterways Board". Does anyone know?
Day 1 of our hols and not the best start.

A break in the weather at last and a great morning to set off in MB. Took
far longer to reach our destination though, not because of traffic,...
