Here the canal broadens out to full two-way width and moves further away from the overflow culvert. Rising on the left is potentially a new housing development where once stood the large Co-op bakery with its impressive waterside buildings, now sadly demolished in the name of progress!
Views to the right overlook the wooded hillside where once ran a branch line as part of the Shelton Bar steel foundry. Further on past the upper east end of the culvert, paths lead up to Grange Park.
