Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 3 Apr 2012
Derelict brick buildings of Roundel Street, on the edge of the canal cutting. This view gives some idea of the depth of the cutting and also of the geology that the navvies had to contend with (exposed at the top of the slope are coal measures strata of mudstone and sandstone). The photographer location can be identified with the "group of Geographers" in David Howard's photo Image
