Newport, Canal Port c.1955

More about this scene
Compare this with the picture above, taken over 50 years earlier. Once the canals ceased to be used for the transport of goods, it did not take long for them to become silted up and overgrown. Notice the route of the towpath going over the bridge. Much of the canal was restored in the 1970s.
