I am surprised that barges can actually sail along on the canal, I walk it most days ineither directions from Blackburn road, Clayton. The rubbish that is either floating or partially submerged baffles me. Bottles too numerous to count, wheelie bins, fire extinguishers, fencing posts, children's prams are just a few of the things observed. The stuff that sinks such as tires bikes and other stuff are only visible when the water is clear as usually its murky
