See http://www.blisworth.org.uk/images/Canal/rumbold.htm Much of it is let as industrial units. What looks like an ornamental "Dutch Canal" down the centre used to be part of a real canal until it was cut off by the railway. The redundant section outside the depot is now built over. At least this section looks to have been mostly cleared of weeds since the 2011 photo Image For more information and an earlier shot see Image For a plan of the site in 1954 see http://www.daventrydc.gov.uk/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=26276
