Prince’s Dock (former short-arm canal)

On the left, you will see that the towpath climbs over a bridge that once spanned the entrance to a short arm running parallel with the canal.   This was Prince’s Dock, which served a small railway-canal interchange.   A single spur ran down an incline from the rail sidings to towpath level alongside the arm.   This was used for transhipping goods to and from the adjacent railway.
