Canal Feeder
This rather overgrown waterway is the northern part of the canal, through which the canal was supplied with water from a sluice on the River Don. As you can see, it's deep and rather overgrown with vegetation. Not a good place for a swim, voluntarily or otherwise.

Warning Sign
The maps are pretty misleading here. I expected to see an open watercourse, not a vegetated hollow, but I was not about to experiment to find out how dry, or alternatively how deep, it was. The many warning signs like this one are very necessary.

Rough Ground
The satellite view seems to show pits and hollows on this piece of land between the lade and the River Don, but none of the maps gives any indication of what might have been here. I assumed it would be boggy and potentially dangerous and decided not to investigate more closely.

Sluice
This looks incontrovertibly like a sluice, and equally incontrovertibly disused. I believe that it controlled the flow of water from the lade into the barley and flour mills that stood nearby.

Rough Ground
This scene is deceptive because you can't see the channel of the river between here and the trees on Broom Inch in the background.

Mill Lade
The lade diverges here from the River Don, but the wall on the left looks too modern to be original.
