Various sections of the Sankey Canal have been restored over the past twenty years. This is one of the earlier restorations. It was carried out when the St. Helens' Technology Campus (right) was built, and provides a pleasant ambience for the staff there... though not all might enjoy the nostalgia of seeing one of the last, genuine gas-works walls in the region.
