The Grantham Canal once entered the town itself but by 1962 the A1 road had been completely rerouted to bypass the town on its western side. That work severed the canal short of its terminus and now has the main length of the waterway ending at the location at the centre of the image just beyond a pontoon on which a resting walker can be seen. There's a break in the pontoon now (November 2022); Mat Fascione's image from 2014 shows it intact - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5253730 .
