Image: © Roger Kidd Taken: 25 Aug 2013
This is a telephoto assisted image of the River Soar north of West Bridge, although here it is still a canalised section (Grand Union Canal) built through the city in the late nineteenth century to improve flood control. Ahead are the derelict Friars Mill buildings, which will eventually be converted into smart apartments, when the finance is forthcoming!! Work is "intermittent".
