For decades the route of the canal, between the edge of the town centre and the Ferndale Road area, has been a pedestrian footpath and cycleway. For a long time there was a metal barrier along much of it, dividing the two types of user. That seems to have disappeared. The barrier in the picture is a temporary one, in connection with some work being carried out. This section was therefore being shared by both pedestrians and cyclists. Photographed from Hawksworth Way, which passes over the former canal. For more about the canal, please see:- Image Image
