Looking to the west along the Middlewich canal from one of the 'narrows' that are used to restrict the flow of canal water when repairs are necessary.


This image shows the view, looking to the west, along the Middlewich canal from one of the 'narrows'. Narrows are sections of canal that have been deliberately reduced in width so that, in case of a breach in the canal wall, they can be sealed to reduce water loss and effect a speedy repair to the network.
