| A very interesting photograph - Taken from the canal wall of the canal tow path (behind the photographer). The main view is of the reservoir with the three settleing ponds in the foreground. The buildings to the right are part of the canal depot and appear derelict at this point in time. The clock tower of the locomotive works can clearly be seen as well as the chimney stack of the main boiler house. Immediately in front of the tower is the main office complex. The people fishing are probably members of the Railway Staff Association. |
