Ahead are the former Abbey Mill buildings (dating from 1884) which are being converted to living accommodation for the elderly and vulnerable. This is by the Grand Union Canal/Soar Navigation below Lime Kiln Lock and Bridge No 9. This section is level with the nearby River Soar (off to the right past Frog Island) so is prone to slight flooding when the river is high.
