Such a pity there are no tenants in the building. Sad to see the shutters down. Hopefully, they get a few takers for the office space and a cafe downstairs for the walkers

Opposite view, a new lock will be constructed in this section

I can highly recommend Chepstow if you are ever down that way.

In the foreground is 'dead car wood'. A car was burnt out there around ten years ago, it's still there with wider debris field. The farmer doesn't want to damage his haymaking rig so has left it. It's quickly sprung up into a little woodland.

Well known in Sheffield
