St Helens Canal
Image: © A-M-Jervis Taken: 14 Aug 2007
Taken from a glass-sided bridge (which explains some of the reflections) connecting two parts of the "World of Glass" museum, this shows a section of the St Helens Canal restored as an unnavigable waterspace. This length within a former glassworks site was locally known as "The Hotties" as the canal water was extracted for cooling purposes and returned to the canal warm enough to steam on cold days.
