A pre-1909 painting of Crich Chase Bridge (the most recorded spot on the Canal?) |
A photo of the same spot. Note the stop planks of the left, conveniently omitted by the artist in the previous picture. |
View from above Gregory Tunnel, of Gregory Widehole, a natural widening of the canal caused when the embankment on the river side was built. In the 1840s, two boatbuilding docks were located here. Along the canal can be seen Leashaw Farm, Robin Hood, with Dawbarns timber works in the distance in the valley floor. |
Yet another coloured postcard of the same spot - the postmark is August 1907 so it dates from some time before that. |
