Canal overspill. Lambeg
Image: © Albert Bridge Taken: 24 Oct 2011
The River Lagan and the disused Lagan canal are very close on the Lisburn side of the Lambeg Bridge Image There was quite a flow on the canal (canals were built on the level and should not have flowing water) which, also, was much higher than usual resulting in a considerable overflow to the river. Image shows the overspill in drier conditions. Image shows the reason for the flow. Image (August 2012) shows the water at a much lower level.
