Murano is the right answer, not far from Venice. They still use traditional techniques to produce items like chandeliers, jewellery , and coloured glass.
we await yenilras decision on the answer...........

Well, its my pet subject and I like it!! Waterways are still used commercially , mainly oop North, the Manchester Ship, the Aire and Calder, along with the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal. However, in London there is suprisingly no more regular commercial traffic on the canals. Which was the last commercially used canal in London??(It was also the shortest.

The Regent Canal leaves the Grand Union Paddington Arm at Little Venice and travels round Regents Park tothe Cumberland Basin, which used to be an arm to Euston and the Artillery Barracks until it was filled in just after WW2. It then carries on past Kings Cross, Islington, Viccy Park and on to Limehouse Basin, but this is not the canal in the question. Hint, for those that visited the Prince of Wales when Fred was in charge, the terminus basin was under the bus station 300 yards away.

I will let you have that one......... It was the Grosvenor Canal. The first lock from the Thames is still there, although un-useable and there is a basin which boats aren't allowed in!! It was used to barge out refuse collections until the early 1990's. The canal carried on to Victoria station originally and the basin was where the bus station is now. It got shorter and shorter as more train lines were added to the station from 1948.
