The lock outside Rotherham Court House, for us the start of the walk.
The first of the many bridges on route.
This is were the canal and the river Don meet up again.
At this point of the walk we use a cantilevered footpath.
I don't know why but it always seems to be the womens job to operate the sluices and open the lock gates.
Two different types of barge, a narrow boat and a broad beam barge.
Broad beam barges used to be made at Waddingtons boat yard Swinton, that's a yesterday story.
Holmes Lock.
This is were the river Don and canal part company.
Meadowbank sewage works pipe bridge.
This is as far as we can get on this part of the walk.
This is the way but it is not the towpath, it takes us around the Meadowhall sewage works, under the Tinsley Viaduct and on to Meadowhall Shopping Mall.
A very aromatic part of the walk.
Meadowhall and a bite to eat.
