When at school at Stanley Tech they had us jogging round Norwood Lake - cross country running it was called, often in ghastly muddy conditions too. I had no idea it was a feeder resevoir for the old canal.. you'd have thought a teacher mightve mentioned that. Those 2 naughtically named South Norwood pubs.. the Ship and Jolly Sailor kinda give the game away though. Nice video, cheers!

here in Greater Manchester there is a disused canal that went though a country park and some of it was lost to the M60 motorway in 3 places one of these was halfway up a sliproad that had locks there

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for joining me and that sounds interesting. Maybe I'll have a look when I'm next in the Manchester area.

Top of the canal was there in the 60's, Before the road was built.

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you for watching and letting me know.

Henry, great video! (And educational)It is interesting how sections of the canal are still around. I did like the carving in the wall and they actually have a map of the canal. Are you doing no shave November or do you always have a 5 o'clock shadow. 😅 Croydon always reminds me of Doctor Who. ( Sarah Jane Smith)😊

[@HenrysAdventures]

Thank you very much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it. Depends really, I tend to do a bit of both. :)

[@DIFFERENTTHINGSY.T.]
