Road, canal, river
Image: © Stephen Craven Taken: 26 Aug 2013
A complex bit of engineering here: in the foreground is the Trent and Mersey Canal; at this point it crosses the River Wheelock and a sewer pipe can be seen running alongside the canal. Then the Wheelock Bypass was built in the 1980s with presumably the minimum clearance required by the canal authority.
