i think they have to work pretty hard to keep it nice - plenty of shopping trollys and so on. it is not terribly deep, and barges use it a lot, so i guess they have to keep it pretty clear or the hulls would get damaged. however these are that same canal weedy gunk and into the deep so you can see it's probly a pretty constant job

this is what it looks like from the canal

i know, nice, huh? i did mean to but they became back catalogue and never made their own thang. i particularly like this building. it is right bang next to a railway, so i imagine that the architect took that into consideration in the design and made the jutty out bits so the inhabitants get a view of the canal instead of the commuters getting a view of them. it's a clever building, and it might even be student residences
