In March 1963, the canal still held water here, although it was now in a very sorry state; a sunken barge reposes near the bank although some attempt has been made to tidy up the area with recent tree and shrub trimming on the right (north) bank. The archetypal March grey day does nothing to lift the scene of total dereliction. All traffic ceased here in about 1936.
