St. Paul's Church, Slough
The Victorian church, which looks as if it dates from the last years of the C19, is on Stoke Road (the B416).

Grand Union Canal (Slough Arm)
The uninspiring end of the 1882-built Slough Arm of the Grand Union Canal to the east of Stoke Road in Slough, with the boat turning head basin in the foreground. The canal was built originally to convey bricks, and then gravel, to London. Later the canal was used to fill the brick and gravel pits with London's waste.

Old Wharf, Slough Canal
The remains of this old wharf structure are still here crumbling gradually.
There is a turning basin for boats just behind where I'm standing.

Slough Canal Basin
Looking at how some other towns have turned their canal waterfronts into attractive venue areas, Slough seems to be lagging a bit.
The towpath has been upgraded into a good quality waterside way, and these visitor boards put up, but as long as the surrounding land remains in privately owned commercial use it's hard to see what else can be done.
Look at this from 20+ years ago. Image. Not much difference.
The water is clean, the canal is navigable right up to the end, and hard line canal enthusiasts do come up here, but it's hardly a big lure for holiday cruising.
While I was here a British Waterways workboat came up hooking out the worst of the garbage, but judging by the number of beer and cider cans in the water some of the canal's biggest fans are drinkers who find it marginally more appealing than the surrounding streets.
