To the left is the electricity sub-station. To the right, barely visible beneath the weeds is the brickwork of all that remains of the top one of the flight of three Moredon Locks on the disused North Wilts branch of the Wilts & Berks Canal (the lowest being Mouldon Lock). The North Wilts branch formerly connected the main Wilts & Berks Canal with the Thames and Severn Canal, and ran between Swindon and Latton. The canal bed would have run from where the photographer is standing directly ahead in line with the fence of the power station.
