Swivel Bridge
The curved edge of the towpath was what alerted me to the existence of this disused swivel bridge, which used to carry an industrial railway over the canal. It clearly post-dates the construction of the canal, but it is shown on the six-inch map which was surveyed in 1860. See also Image

A Peaceful Scene
Just a few hundred metres from the industrial estate, young offenders' institution, caravan site and mushrooming housing developments, and it's as if you are miles from anywhere. Notice the blue flowers of Image] all along the canal bank.
