Crane on Bridgewater Canal
This crane is adjacent to London Road, bridge 15, and is typical of many along this stretch of canal. It is permanently hooked on to the stop planks, those large blocks of wood lying parallel to the canal. They can be swung out across the canal, using the crane, and slotted into stop plank channels under the bridge, thus sealing off a section of the waterway. This is particularly critical here where the canal runs along embankments for much of the way and is without a lock for 40 miles. Now, if there was a breach in the embankment, that's a lot of water disappearing, unless the stop planks can be inserted quickly.

Mural at Thorn Marine
This mural is on the side road behind Thorn Marine, adjacent to London Bridge (bridge 15) Stockton Heath. It has seen better days. I remember it newly painted in around 1983. It shows scenes from the adjacent Bridgewater Canal. Thorn Marine is under threat from a local housing development, hence the sign on the wall.
