Yesterday, our car was in the garage for some work to be done. They needed it in the workshop for the whole day, so we decided to take a walk by the river, do some shopping and have a late lunch.
Here are the photos of our walk by the river - beware, I took a few
We walked down the steps from street level to the towpath - the river has been canalised as it goes through the city. This is the view that meets us at the bottom of the steps
As you can see, when we turn the other way, we really are right in the middle of the city
We headed off away from the city, towards the locks - at the weir, the river widens out into a little lake
Here is the weir
Just beyond the weir is the first of the locks that we came upon, it is the set of locks at Freemans Common
The football stadium is just on the other side of the river
