To the east of Image the canal has been cut through sandstone and the bank on the south side, now occupied by the Mill Farm Park mobile home site, was once the site of several quarries (described as "old" on the 1888 Ordnance Survey large scale map). Two gentlemen enjoy some angling from one of the few mobile home sites with a lawn down to the canal.
