Boat Road

A Memory of Barnton.

Sorry Paul, your memory of the photo of the tunnel is incorrect.

Boat road was or still is the local name for Tunnel Road. The reason there are no houses on the photograph of the the tunnel ( Barnton Tunnel) is. The photograph is of the opposite end of the tunnel. In other words, the Saltersford end.

This end you may remember is approached from Oakwood Lane, or by the horse path over the tunnel from Boat Road. Or when walking up from Saltersford locks. Ron Pilkington

Comments & Feedback

Hello Harvey. Yes, I meant Tunnel Road ! I wondered what happened to the houses at the very bottom of there, adjacent to the canal. As children we used to play around there, and up the bank at the back of Frank Price's TV & hardware shop - Obviously the houses were pulled down - but wondered what the reason was - thanks
