Guest Trefcon Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Like the pics Stuart, ok it is a Sunday morning, but they give a real sense of decay and of times past. Are these streets busy in the week? Dean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent Photos Stuart, I like the one where the cobbles are making a comeback through the tarmac.! Do you know anything about the canal boat workshop on the canal - I noticed that a while ago and looked very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I would be very interested in any info you have on canal facilities, particularly boat slips in that area. Specifically any facilities on or near, Canal's Street itself, that may have been used for breaking up old wooden barges. This would be in the years 1870 - 1890.

mike142sl Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Pic 2 Why would the canal have been narrow for so far after the west side of the bridge (Where the steel container is now)? It narrows quickly to the east side of the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveHB Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 The reason for the short narrow sections usually found at bridges, is that it makes it easier to close off and drain a section of canal so maintenance or repair work to be carried out. A term known as 'to stank' (dam) the narrow bit is sometimes referred to as a 'stanking point' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
