For many years the Stainforth and Keadby canal (on the right of the picture) provided the main transport for the carriage of goods. In the distance can be seen the old building that houses the offices of the carrier, and the roadway is part of the old goods complex. The use for the canal is mainly leisure, both boating and fishing. The bridge carries the main A161 road and the railway station is to the far right of the picture.
