This part of the canal was relined when the A41 dual carriageway was built, and vegetation is growing up along the banks and in some places right across the canal. The water runs crystal clear and with plenty of duckweed - but this will change to a muddy soup when canal barges start using it again in a few years time, after a break of over 100 years.
