Grand Union Canal in Leicester
Image: © Roger Kidd Taken: 25 Aug 2013
This image 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. There are back gardens and factories on the left (in Marjorie Street). The chimney is part of the former Abbey Mill, now converted into living accommodation.
