Canal burst at Gee Cross

View of the damage near Apethorn Lane

I have no idea what year this happened, I do recall that in the early 1960s the banking collapsed near to Captain Clarkes Bridge. I have memories of seeing a rusted motor bike in the mud.

  1. From a little research I've done, based on the design of the telephone poles in the photo of all things, I believe the photo is from the 40's or maybe early 50's.
